##RVT1124b
If two wires short together it will blow a circuit breaker or fuse. If 1wire bares and you touch the appliance and you were grounded somehow, then you could get a shock. I haven’t seen only 2 wire cable in 60 years. Where is the ground wire. Common Romex,,® has 2 or more current carrying conductors plus a bare ground wire. How could that happen?
