in three pin pluge there three pins one is phase and second
is earth third is nutral why nutral high diameter compare
with phase and earth

Answer Posted / ssnslm

Normally earth pin is larger in dia than phase and neutral,
to provide low resistance path for the flow of fault
current. We know resistance = (resistivity * length)/ c.s
area of the conductor
