in three pin plug point, whats the reason that one plug
point is bigger in size

Answer Posted / silas varghese

during earth fault the fault current is large depending on rating of equipment.hence to transfer this current to earth without being melted down the earth pin is of larger cross-section. larger the ampere rating of plug or socket more is the cross section size of earth pin.

I'm generating a pulse of 3V with frequency 80Hz (12.5ms time period) and pulse duration 0.125ms and feeding it to a transformer since i want the pulse to get amplified around 60V. At the output amplification s happening but the pulse is changed to a spike, can you tell me what could be the reason? (an ordinary transformer 220V-12V stepdown transformer is reverse connected ie. now it is 12V-220V stepup and voltage amplification happens)
