The earth wire connects the metal frame of the electrical appliances to the ground. The convention is to have green colour for earth wires. The purpose of earthing is that in case of an insulation failure in some appliance, this wire connected to the metal body will provide a path for the current to flow on the ground. In absence of earth wire, this fault current would have flown through the body of the operator, causing electrical shock.
What else can I help you with?
When charge are able to flow directly from the circuit into Earth a ciruit electrically?
That is what the Earth wire does. Normally it does not carry current but it has this important safety function.
Can you connect a 6mm earth wire to a 2.5 mm earth wire?
A 6 mm earth wire can be used to replace a 2.5 mm earth wire, but if there is an existing 6 mm earth wire it must be 6 mm all the way to the earth, and not replaced by a smaller wire between it and the earth connection.
What is the function of a electric socket?
It allows you to disconnect the load without having to unplug the flexible cable.
What is the function of Wire Gauze?
it helps in providing constant heat
Can loose neutral wire effect the operation of Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker?
Yes, a loose neutral wire can effect the operation of Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker.
When charge are able to flow directly from the circuit into Earth a ciruit electrically?
That is what the Earth wire does. Normally it does not carry current but it has this important safety function.
What is difference between nutral and earth wire?
A neutral wire provides a return path for the hot lead while an earth or "ground" wire is provided as a safety function only that is not normally intended to carry current except for the purpose of operator protection.

Wire that discharges excess electricity to the earth?
It is the earth wire
What does green wire indicates?
Earth wire
How you provide earthing by three pin plug?
The three pins are live, neutral and earth. The live and neutral carry the current, and the earth should carry no current. Its function is to connect together the external parts of all pieces of equipment so that it's impossible to get a shock by touching two items at once. Another function is to connect the external parts to an earth rod and to the gas and water pipes in the property. Another function is that if an internal fault allows a live wire to touch the case, enough current will flow to blow the fuse or trip the circuit breaker. So in different ways the earth pin/wire provides an important safety feature. In Europe the earth wire is coloured green and yellow.
Why is your earth wire is glowing on the live circuit?
In the visible spectrum or the infrared? Either way, if your earth wire is glowing you have a problem. Your earth wire is not intended as a current carrying wire. If the wire is loaded to the point that it glows then your circuit/breaker is not wired correctly and the earth wire is being used as an unintended path and is a hazard. Earth wires are not sized properly to carry current.
What is the third green wire on an electric drill is the wire?
it is the earth wire
When an electrical earthing wire is showing live what is the problem?
earth wire not cnnected from main earth
What are the function of wire stripper pliers?
They are for stripping the insulation off electrical wire.
What are wire braces?
It has the same function as braces, but is only a wire. Like a retainer.
