Adapter Deep Socket


Is it bad to plug a 3 prong electrical plug into a 2 prong socket using an adapter?

I live in japan and every socket in my house only has 2 prong plugs. Our TV and deep freeze and other things use three prongs. I need to find a way to plug them in. Thanks!!

One example where ungrounded appliances could give a shock: It happened to mother in Argentina (220 Volts). She had both a refrigerator and a microwave oven, one near the other, both without ground (3-prong to 2-prong on wall).
I measured the potential (voltage) between the two cases and it was more than 100 Volts. This is due to internal leakage on each of the units.
Could that kill you? May be not, but I wouldn't play with it.
If you use an adapter, connect the ground prong with a wire to a faucet or any other ground.
Some appliances that come with only two prongs, in most cases they have one wider prong so it can only be plugged one way. When both prongs are of equal width it means that the appliance is "double insulated", because no internal metallic part is exposed on the outside.
