Answer / kishore kumar

because R=Pl/a area of the conductor increases resistance
value dicreases .so high lekage current flows it thats why
the area of the earthing pin is big compare yhe phase and
neutral pins.

Answer / siva24381

Because Current flow in the conductor is inversely
proportional to the conductor diameter.so if any short
circuits occures in the system first high currents bypassed
in the Earthing terminal.
