How can safety be ensured using a three-pin plug?

Answer»

The pin E of a three-pin plug comes into contact with the earth line. This pin is now connected to the body of the appliance. If the body comes into contact with an electrie connection, electricity flows to the earth through the earth wire. The flow of current to the earth through a circuit of low resistance increases the current. Hence heat generated in the fuse wire increases, the fuse wire melts and the circuit is broken. This will protect the instrument and the person handling it.
