Examine the diagram.a. How would you connect the wires A, B and C from the electric iron to the wires of three-pin top correctly? b. What is your response to the opinion that two pin top can be used instead of three-pin top in an electric iron?

Answer»

a. X wire is to be connected’ to earth pin. So connection should be made to be B. A and C must be connected to the wires Y and Z respectively. 

b. Do not agree. 

Insulation damage will carry electricity to the metallic part of electric iron. If one touches the metallic part he will get a electric shock. If the metallic part is earthed the charge will flow to the earth through the less resistance path.

Due to low resistance path the electric flow increases and the fuse burns out, thus safety is ensured or Agree. Special techniques are employed in new type iron boxes for avoiding shocks. Two pins shall be used only in such type appliances.
