Kettle earth - why?

Stephen Biddle
Hi guys, just curious.  I have a plastic electric kettle that has an earth lead in the flex.  I can't see much point in it.  It will trip the RCD in the event of an element insulation breakdown so there's some use there.  Any thoughts?

    The biggest issue with doing an earth continuity test on a Class I plastic kettle element is scrapping the lime built up on it off to get a low reading.
