why earth hole size is biggest in plug point?

Answer Posted / nikunj patel

The size of earth pin is longer and bigger because of only
two reason as per British standard 1363

• The longer earth pin ensures that the earth path is
connected before the live pins, and remains connected after
the live pins are removed.

• The design of the earth pin being of a larger
dimension prevents it from being inserted into the phase or
neutral sockets should this be attempted in error.
