Answer / mahavir jagdev

There are two answers to this question -

1. In olden times the earth plug was long and thick so that before any appliance get connected to the power, it it earthed and protects the person from shock as most of the equipments were made out of metal. It is thicker as the short circuit current is much more than the normal current the device takes.

2. With the modern three pin pligs the principle is the same but another safety feature has been added that the lower two power points open for insertion of the plug points only after the Earthing point has been insert. Again for safety.

last.2.Thicker to bear heavy earth fault current 3. Both, so

Answer / tom hanks

Generally, to protect the socket from unwanted entries
(child finger or 2 plug entries without earth) all 3 holes
are closed from inside, to open it first earth Plug has to
insert with force which will open bottom holes too, thats
why Earth plugs are often lengthy and thicker.

Hi Suppose we have a wye/wye transformer which is grounded at both sides,in this situation, do we have ay ground transformer? in other words, ground transformer can do any thing more (while we have nuetral wire in both sides)? As the last question, what about 3rd harmonic? we have two choices: first using wye/delta transformer + ground transformer and second using wye/wye earthed connection.in the former choice, we dont have 3rd harmoonic at the secondary side but what about Yn/yn conection? do we suffer from 3rd harmonic in the Yn/yn connection?
