Why earthing of electric appliance is important?

Answer 1

Answer:

used to protect you from an electric shock.

Explanation:

Earthing is used to protect you from an electric shock. It does this by providing a path (a protective conductor) for a fault current to flow to earth. It also causes the protective device (either a circuit-breaker or fuse) to switch off the electric current to the circuit that has the fault.

Answer 2

Earthing is required for the following reasons:

• To give an alternate conduit for leakage current to go towards the ground.
• To protect people from electrocution as a result of a leakage current.
• To prevent the structure of high-rise structures from being struck by lightning.
• Create a safe channel for lightning and short circuit currents to dissipate.
• Provide a sturdy base for delicate electrical equipment to operate on.
