You must have noticed one
green wire along with the Red and Black wires for your
Electrical Appliances and Electronic Gadgets.
Why you need that green wire for all your Electrical Home Appliances.
It is just connected with the metallic body of the equipment and the other end
goes to the earth wire. This wire is not meant for any power. The Red and black
wires will take the power (Line and Neutral).
In my childhood I have got real
doubt about that green wire. When I became a school boy I have asked this to my
teachers and parents. Fore safety was the simple answer I got. Then I go
through some books and find out that this wire is for
discharge accumulated static voltage (the
voltage that produced by induction on any metal surface placed near the
electric wire). This will save you from a shock you may get if operated without
this wire. There is also one second reason why you need that. It discharge any
leakage of current due to insulation failure or
other damages. This way it operate as an easy way out for dangerous Electric
Potential. Most probably this heavy discharge will blow the fuse off and trip
your Circuit Breaker. Due to the easy path offered by this green wire will
protect you from a heavy (dangerous shock). So do not operate your electrical appliances without
this wire. Tell or shout your Electrician
and make sure that the green (safety) earth wire is connected.
