Electrical shock risk from drain pipe? Midea Aurora R410A

[123456789]

Hi, I was wondering if there could be any risk of getting electrocuted if one comes in contact with liquid from a split Midea Aurora R410A's drain pipe leaking inside a bedroom, whether the unit is on or off. (The drain pipe is broken and NOT hidden behind a wall.) Sorry if stupid question.

Here is the manual if needed: https://www.midea.net.au/product/spl...eries-r410a-3/

PS I am assuming the drain pipe contains only water from the unit?

Thank you




Edit: Thanks for the answers!

The drain pipe should be safe, however, you should be asking this question of your electrician.

The earth connection of your electrical supply is the provider of safety, no earth equals dangerous.

You coould ask the same question about the water coming out of your sink taps.

There is an amendment in the Electrical regulations (UK) that states that AC pipework should be earth bonded.
But the drain will almost certainly be plastic so will not be conductive.

If there is a risk of electric shock down the drain your system is in so much trouble that an electric shock is the least of your problems.

The chance of an electric shock on the drain is almost impossible (even if the drain is broken) and something that you should not worry too much about.
