In power point wiring,often,we use less size of earth wire
compared to phase & neutral wire and we use big size pin in
pug top. how is it justified? can we use small size cable
for earthing?

Answer Posted / santosh kawade

We use big size pin and socket for power point to reduce
resistance in earth pat and to alway connect earthing first
to equipment before connecting mains and neutal in system.

Using low size cable for earthing in single phase can not
be justified, we have to use same size cable for neutral,
eathing and mains.

In three phase we can use lower size cable for earthing and
neutral.
