An electrical appliance which is double insulated does not have an earth wire fitted. The appliance is designed in such a way that the electrical parts can never come into contact with the outer casing of the device. Common double insulated appliances are hair dryers, radios and cassette players.

How does double insulation protect users from electric shock?

Double insulation is a safety feature in electrical appliances where an extra layer of insulation is provided between the conductive parts and the exterior surface. This prevents direct contact between the user and any conductive parts that may become live due to a fault. If a fault occurs and the live parts touch the conductive parts, the double insulation ensures that the user is protected from electric shock by preventing the flow of electricity to the exterior surface of the appliance.
