What is Earthing?

Earthing is a process used to increase the safety of electrical appliances and prevent electric shocks. An earth wire is essential for any appliance with a metal case. Without an earth wire, electricity could begin to flow through the metal casing if a fault developed.

The earth wire provides an alternative path for the current.

If the live wire becomes loose and touches the metal case, the very large current flows through the earth wire and blows the fuse in the plug, breaking the circuit.
