[QUOTE="19.3, post: 528519, member: 13753"] You don't need the earth pin on an appliance for an rcdto work - Money box's knee is fine. If an appliance is not double insulated the earth pin provides a line of defence and should cause breaker to trip in the event a metal component becomes live due to internal insulation failing for any reason. But a word of warning. RCDs - as illustrated here do not protect against all failure situations and people die even when there are RCDs in circuit. [/QUOTE]
