earthing of 3 pin top is made thick and long compared to the phase and neutral pin because resistance of a conductor depends on its length and area.
R=(roh*l/A).
as resistance is inversely proportional to its area,to make low resistance path area should be more.So because to flow earthing current easily pin is made thick and long.

can we synchronize star system generators with delta system generators?
We have two Al.busbars each of size 125mm*10 mm connected in parallel.To increase the current rating ,can we connect third busbar of size 100mm*10mm in parallel to existing two busbars?In my opinion ,if we connect busbars of different sizes in parallel,then the busbar of lowest size will take much current.So this type of paralleling should be avoided .Am I correct?
