Post Subject: You can pay with your life if the earth wire is lifted.Posted by rowuk on: 2/20/2023
The whole idea of an earth wire is a path to ground if something fails in the unit. In most countries the (metal) case is attached to this pin on the power connector.
It is incredibly stupid (and in many countries illegal) to lift the earth wire and provide no path for saving your life. That is different than not wanting to use the earth in the power receptacle.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
