Show the three pin plug

1 answer

I'm unable to display images directly, but I can describe a three-pin plug for you.

A typical three-pin plug, such as the UK Type G plug, has the following features:

  1. Three Pins:

    • One longer pin (the earth pin) which is typically at the top and helps prevent the plug from being inserted incorrectly.
    • Two shorter pins (the live and neutral pins) located at the bottom.
  2. Insulated Body:

    • The plug is made of hard plastic and is usually rectangular in shape.
  3. Fuse:

    • Most three-pin plugs contain a fuse that protects against overcurrent by breaking the circuit if the current exceeds a certain threshold.
  4. Pin Configuration:

    • The earth pin is thicker and longer, while the live and neutral pins are of the same thickness.

If you need visuals, I recommend searching online for "UK three-pin plug" or similar terms to see images. Let me know if you need any further information!
