why the earth pin in a 3-pin socket is longer and thickest?
Answer Posted / shivendra
we know that R=p(L/A).So as the area of cross section increases the resistance decreases AND the current follows the minimum resistance path.So in case of fault current excessive current will flow via earth pin thereby saving the human from shock.

I have a relay contact rated at 220v dc which is supplied with a 24vdc from the panel,for it to trip the dampers(24vdc).What if the application of the relay changes so that it should work at its rated 220vdc then will it work at 24vdc supply given or any other consideration needs to be taken .....
