Many electrical appliances - including cookers, washing machines and refrigerators - have metal cases. The earth wire creates a safe route for the current to flow through if the live wire touches the casing.

You would get an electric shock if the live wire inside an appliance, such as a cooker, came loose and touched the metal casing.

However, the earth terminal is connected to the metal casing so that the current goes through the earth wire instead of causing an electric shock. A strong current surges through the earth wire because it has a very low resistance. This breaks the fuse and disconnects the appliance.
