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?

That assumes that there is an RCD in the circuit that the kettle is plugged in to, and that the RCD trips when required to do so.
