Oven has 2-prong plug plus earth wire. Socket is modern 3-prong. How to connect?
Home Improvement Asked by Sleepster on March 9, 2021
My 110V toaster oven has a 2-prong cable. Also, the oven’s chassis has a screw with a connected green/yellow earth wire, which I want to ground.
My wall socket is a modern 3-prong with earth and all.
Is there a special adapter that can convert the 2-prong plug + earth wire into a 3-prong plug? Is that the right way to go?
Thank you!
One Answer
You could install a replacement three-prong plug and wrap the cable and extra wire with loom to keep them bundled. It's probably not strictly legal, but it's generally safe.
