I would have thought the chances of a shock from a hand drier are absolutely miniscule, they are VERY safe devices, at least the UK ones I've installed are, and I seem to recall they were manufactured in the USA?.

Actually, the chances with these would likely be zero, since the actuate by infrared proximity. No physical contact required. Still doesn't real the anxiety.

Hmmm... infrared. Wonder what it would take to build an circuit to actuate them all at once. Halloween is coming up...

 

You would blow the main breaker for the building.

Nope, notit...this seems to be the standard ones. The on that I am talking about is quite unique in its look, as it has a moulded plastic case, and the nozzle exits the machine in the centre of the unit. Also it was made in the USA.
As far as safety...they all have built in GFI'S' and the heating elements are actually quite deep inside the unit, and a grating in the output jet keeps fingers well away from any harm. Ur fingers would actually hit the fan blades before the heaters, if you could get ur fingers into the nozzle. Some units even have a interlock that keeps the unit off if it is removed from the wall, or the case is opened in any way other than by using the key. I think he chance of electrocution from these units would be zero.
