Why is a earth/ground required?

Earth/ground is needed to make shielding against all sorts of noises effective, even if the system doesn’t have noises without an earth/ground present it’s still recommended. For all mains electrical systems, the earth is a major part and the “reference” for all circuits. Faults can cause the earth to become something else than zero and that can cause all sorts of troubles.
