why electricity needs to be earthed
In: 6
It’a a safety thing, since people constantly touch the earth we are at the same voltage as the ground, so if you connect appliance cases to earth as well, this means that even if something was to go wrong inside you can’t get shocked because you are at the same voltage
everything will still work perfectly fine without an earth connection, but you might just get nasty shocks when touching things, and this happened to me because my dishwasher wasn’t properly earthed
