cheater plugs Anonymous 2016-01-15 05:59:26 Post No. 7784620 [Report]

I have a light with a grounded plug that I want to use on a timer I have on hand. Problem is the timer only accepts two pronged cords. Could I use one of these cheater plugs and connect the ground tab via ring terminal to a grounded cord plugged in close by?

You could. Probably not safe though.

That prong literally does nothing power wise, it is there to hold the plug in place. Pull the 3rd prong out with a pair of pliers.

The grounding prong is only there for safety and to keep the plug in place
