How would you identify if an Electrical Appliance had a grounding Wire?
If you have a brand new appliance (hair dryer, toaster, fridge, tv etc) and it comes with a plug with three prongs it has a ground. If it comes with two prongs it is not grounded. The only time an electical appliance should not have three prongs is if it is "double insulated" double insulated means that the electrical components are on a chaisis that is electrically isolated from the outer case or chasis where the user can touch. This is done to greatly reduce the risk of electrical shock. If the device is not double insulated there must be a third prong or ground prong on the plug. The device will have a ground wire attached to the conducting parts of the device so that if there should be a failure such as a broken wire touching the parts that can be touched the electricity will have a path for electrical flow and again greatly reduce the risk of electrical shock to the user. If you plug in a three prong or grounded appliance and for some reason the breaker instantly trips there might be a dangerous electrical problem with the appliance which is causing electrical flow back through the ground conductor. this would also be slangly called a "shorted" circuit. It almost always causes the breaker or fuse to trip/blow.
If you have a 230 volt appliance what does that mean?
It means that, to operate at its rated power, the appliance must be provided with a 230-V supply.

How is electrical shock hazard defined?
The phrase "electrical shock hazard" means that there is a risk of electrical shock.
Why would lights glow brighter or dimmer when running a large appliance?
the lights would grow dimmer if the large appliance draws so much current that the resistance of the main electrical service conductors to that current causes a service voltage drop. less voltage means less light. one reason the lights might grow brighter when the large appliance comes on is if the rest of the household electric load (other than the large appliance)is mostly connected to just one of the service conductors, with the large appliance on the other service conductor and the service neutral is marginal or undersized. the neutral carries the unbalanced current of the two service conductors so, without the large appliance on line, the neutral is carrying a large current and the resistance of the undersized neutral to that large current is causing a voltage drop all the time, so lights are dim all the time. when the large appliance comes on line, the unbalance is reduced, the neutral carries less current, the voltage drop reduces and the lights brighten.
What neutral means in electrical?
Neutral is the return of the voltage not used by the appliance
What does the french word branchee mean?

What is the root words means''fatty'' or''plaque'?
which of the following root words means fatty or plaque
Why wouldn't you put a hair dryer in water?
Because a water is a conductor of electricity, which means that if it came into contact with something that was an electrical appliance it would simply blow up!
