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.
