Answer / yk
the device must erthed first before is gets voltage thats y
earth pin is longer in plug.

Answer / arul
Thicker:in conducter area is high conductor resistense is
low so earth pin resistense less than two two pin.
deeper:first equipment will earthed next get the power
supply so earth pin is deeper.

Answer / swapnil borade
we know that resistance is inversely proportional to area, as area is large then resistance is small & length of earth pin is large because first pin connected is earth & last disconnected is also earth & this is for to discharge the current & to protect the human body.

Answer / n.ashok kumar
it is for convinence the head of the plug is thicker.suppose
the plug is not thicker,it same size of other(phase&neutral)
pin. sometimes we are all(if you are in tention)rotate the
plug and fix to the socket.it make electric shock on
appliance body .because earth wire connected to the
appliance body.

Answer / mahesh kumar singh
For decreasing the resistance of wire sothat it can produce
less heat & protects the personal from shock. Leakage
current will pass faster and the instrument will be saved.

Answer / dhayalan
Earth wire is required in home.because high and low voltage
protection....and it is save to use non technical
person....
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 3 Yes | 9 No |
Answer / suresh
every time earth is required to keep the system withstand in
high voltages& currents ,,,, so to protect the system from
high voltages it must be at high ratings .......

Can we use 1.1x 2 split air-conditioning at a same time in 2kw power loadar
if we use contactor & MCCB both in a feeder.in this feeder rating of contactor is higher or lower or same of MCCB rating & why?
IN star -delta motors normally first operated in star mode {absulated given (r-y-b) phases after one miute change in delta mode in this case i am change phase sequience for example R -PHASE TO CHANGE Y-PHASE ;Y-PHASE TO CHANGE R-PHASE SO THIS TIME MOTOR WILL HAPPEN RUNNIG MODE EIGHTER(OR) STOP MODE(TRIP MODE)
one split ac how can told of this ac which Tr tell me us
how many types control panel of a 132/33 kv substation
what is relay what is protection & contact multiplying relays where it is used function in brief
what is busbar. how many types of starter.what appartus will be used to improve voltage.what is the function of starter.what is b.h.p.what material is used for earthing.
What is Transformer?
WHAT IS LOAD CELL
what are the oils used in transformers cooling? n which type transformer is used in power systems?
Dear all, is ther any body who can tell me about the setting of ACB(air circuit breaker ). what kind of it,s setting is and how to do it,s setting. also please tell me the setting of VCB(vaccume circuit breaker) . please tell me their setting,s. i will b very thank ful to all of u. Thank,s and Regard,s. Muhammed Ikram.
