Answer / sai nitish

As the resistance Is inversely proportional to cross sectional area,when ever a short circuit occurs a huge magnitude of current flows through earth pin.earth pin provides a low impedance path for the fault currents.due to this fact the earth pin is made bigger compared to others. Low impedance implies high current and higher cross sectional area

Answer / khamesra.amit

It helps in two ways:
1. Longer earth pin will first earth the equipment body before the phase is connected to the equipment.
2. Its cross section is larger. As resistance is inversely proportional to area, Lesser is the area of cross section , less is the resistance which helps fault current to adopt this path instead of human body.

Answer / sheikh

Earth pin would be longer than phase and neutral pin because
connected equipment may be earth in first.
