This came up at work some time ago and I haven't been able to verify yet.
We had a de-ionized water pipe break and a 480 disconnect became ,well submersed. It was still energized ! There was obvious concern for shock so we de-energized the disconnect at the main.
Someone stated that there was no concern over shock because de-ionized water does not conduct electricity, Wanting to go home not to the mourge we took the time to de-energize. Which I will do again given the same situation.
Finally my Question
Does de-ionized water conduct electricity? Was this person's statement correct? It is now a personal info thing.
Thanks
