Most appliances these days all ready have the ground connected right from the manufacturer. The appliances that only have a two wire feeder are usually are double insulated where the inner electrical components are isolated from the outer appliance frame. The appliance's ground wire is connected internally to the frame and is connected into the electrical system through the ground pin of the cord cap that connects into the ground socket of the receptacle.

You can attach the ground wire of the device to a coil, a transformer for instance, or you can use the neutral pole of the power supply (not recommended) as a ground point, and finally you can connect the ground wire deep into the hole previously digged on the earth outside of your home.
For appliances with a big intensity of the current it is advised to build the classical grounding procedure that only an electrician can do. Showers require a correct ground connection, but you can use also a coil as ground, a coil like those ones used on an ignition circuit of a car.

The MAIN purpose of the grounding pin in a three prong plug for appliance is to what?
It is to prevent electrical shocks.
Why do you get a shock from the water from the hot tap in your bathroom?
Some one did not ground an electrical appliance properly
Is an iPad an electrical appliance?
yes
Is a handphone an electrical appliance?
Yes, a hand phone can be classed as an electrical appliance.
Can a ground leakage damage electrical appliances?
A ground leakage can damage electrical appliances. When there is a current leakage, it causes the appliance to draw more current through thecircuit, hence produces excess heat. This can damage the appliances.
Is a base board heater an electrical appliance?
Yes, an electrical base board heater can be classified as an appliance.
When you pull out the plug connected to an electrical appliance you often observe a spark to which property of the appliance is this related?
I think it is due to the resistance to the electrical appliance, the resistance offered by the electrical appliance works as a load in the circuit and when load is removed it causes sparking.
How would you ground an electrical appliance?
Most are grounded through their power cords. Modern cords include a ground wire that is connected through building wiring to a grounding rod.
What wire carries the electrical current to the appliance?
The black wire is the hot wire through which the electrical current flows to the appliance. The left over voltage which is usually zero flows back to the main circuit panel through the white neutral wire where it flows to ground.
What is the the purpose of the ground wire on an appliance?
If there happens to be a fault on that appliance the ground wire is the faults path back to ground.
What is a ground wire?
A ground wire is a typically uninsulated copper wire. The intent is to connect the wire to an electrical appliance or fixture to provide electricity a path to ground in the event of a short, thus preventing electrocution.
When we 'switch on an electrical appliance' what change are we making to the circuit?
By 'switching on an electrical appliance' we are completing (closing) the electrical circuit, allowing electricity to flow and the device to work.
