Why is the earth pin in a 3-pin plug the longest and the
thickest?
Answer Posted / mukesh jangra
Because when it insert into the socket first of all it
grounded the ckt or equipment so that third pin of 3-pin
plug is longest.Due to this it avoid from shock to person
& give safety.
The reason of thickness of 3rd pin is low resistance.
Because area depends upon length & thickness.If aera is
large means resistance of that body is less.So due to low
resistance the thickness of 3rd pin is large other than.

I just purchased a 4 position cam switch to be used to operate a 3-speed blower motor. The motor is a 10 amp motor and has 3 wires that are used to control speed. The cam switch was rated at 660V 20 amps but when I received it, I noticed that it has AC-15 operational current rating (Ie) of 4/5 amps. If I am reading the label correctly. the 4/5 amps is related to 440v/220V (Ue). Other ratings are AC-3: 5.5A, AC2: 7.5A and AC-4: 1.5A. My questions are 1) Is it safe to use this switch with the motor I have 2) what is the difference between the 20 amp Ith ratting and the Ie operational ratings?
