- bluGill 3y agohopefully you reuse the circuit breaker from the original and so are fine. If you are running your house use a proper line/generator selector, and then your house grounds take care of earthing. If you are running tools outdoors on a cord you don't want an earth, just make sure all your cords are in good shape. With no earth connection if you touch a live wire you won't get a shock as there is no circuit. Although this is safer for temporary use you can't do it for indoor/permanent use because you can't insect the wires in your walls to ensure they are in good shape, and so you can get a lot of failure modes that running good cords prevents, and earth protects against those.
