Mains Electricity

23 - 29. What are the missing words in this paragraph?

'Mains' electricty in the UK operates at .
It has a frequency of .
Inside the hair dryer's plug there are 3 wires:-
The brown wire is the wire .
The blue wire is the wire .
All UK mains plugs have a device inside that melts if the current is too high.
This is called the and is always connected to the
wire.
The wire is a safety wire connected to the metal case of an aplliance.
