What pin on a power plug is the earth pin?
The third pin usually on the bottom is the pin that goes to the ground/earth.See Sources and Links below.AnswerIt really depends on what type you plug you are using. From your use of the word. 'earth' (rather than 'ground'), you may be referring to the plugs used in the UK, Ireland, and places like Malta, Cyprus, and the Gulf States? If so, then the earth pin is the longest of the three, and located at the top of the plug. Some European plugs don't use an earth pin at all -in Germany, for example, they use a pair of contacts located in the moulded recesses located on each side of the plug.
