For electrical safety reasons the longer earth pin is the
first pin to establish contact when all three pins (earth,
active and neutral)are inserted into a socket. It is also
the last pin to be disengaged. The larger csa of the earth
pin allows any fault current (active to earth) to flow
easily through the pin/socket connection.
