Earthing protects the appliances and human beings in case of insulation fail or accidental short circuit. When the live wire touches the earth wire, large current flows through it and causes the fuse to blow off or circuit breaker to trip and thereby protecting the appliance as well as users.

That is the reason for connecting earth wire.

Answer:

  • The wire is connected to a metallic plate deep inside the earth
  • in this way the metallic body of appliance is connected to the Earth which provides a low resistance conducting path for electric current
  • hence, any leakage of current to the metallic body of appliance keeps the potential to that of earth
  • the user might not get a severe electric shock on touching such an appliance
  • electric wire has green insulation so that it can be identified.
