No Ground Wire in the Kitchen? Three Safe Solutions

Why Grounding Matters

Under-sink heaters and dishwashers are Class-I appliances in a wet environment; without a ground, a failed element can energize the casing and the water stream.

Solution 1: Extend PE from the Panel (Best)

Run a dedicated 2.5mm² green-yellow wire from the PE busbar of your distribution box.

Solution 2: Rewire the Circuit

During renovation, replace with 3-core cable and proper grounding — the cleanest fix.

Solution 3: Local Equipotential Bonding

As a stopgap, bond the area equipotentially and add a 30mA RCD plug.
