They are useless without earth grounding. Electricity101-static electricity common discharge point is the earth ground.

depende sa voltage regulator na ginagamit..

kung ang type ng voltage regulator mo eh ung maliit lang na kasama sa package.wag ka mag tiwala dun..

maganda ung parang may malaking dynamo na loob ,talagang acurate ang voltahe na nilalabas niya,kahit na mag over voltage pa.or bumaba ang kuryente

^unplug from AC socket kung wala grounding. Modern buildings/houses nowadays comes with earth ground as standard provision, one could easily check this if the outlet is 3-prong and the presence of grounding bus-bar inside the circuit breaker box.
