Why you use neutral pin in three pin plug?
In North America the neutral pin is used to complete the circuit. One pin is "hot", one pin is neutral and the last pin is ground.
Is the long slot on a duplex receptacle hot or neutral?
The long slot on a duplex receptacle is the neutral pin.
Why Distance between neutral and groun pin in plug is not same?
No U.
Why you use three pin plug insted of two pin?
In an electrical socket, there are three holes. One is a hot wire, one is a neutral wire, and one is a ground wire. Usually, the hot wire is black. The neutral wire is white. And the ground wire is green. Motors usually have three pin plugs. Other items also have them. When a motor has a three pin plug, the body of the motor is attached to the ground. If a spark goes from the electrical wires to the body of the motor, it will go harmlessly to the ground and not hurt anyone. On a two pin plug, usually one pin is larger than the other. The larger pin goes to the neutral or white wire. It is also grounded. That way if there is an electrical short in the device, it should not electrocute the person using it.
What is the blue wire for in a three pin plug?
In the UK Brown is the live, blue is the neutral and green/yellow is the earth. The live and neutral are the two wires that normally carry the current.

How do you connect the 3 pin plug?
One pin for phase other pin for neutral and third one is for earth/ground wire. In India the right pin is for phase, left pin is for neutral and pin on top side is for ground wire. This third top side pin is slightly bigger and longer compared to phase and neutral pins.
Is the long slot on a duplex receptacle hot or neutral?
The long slot on a duplex receptacle is the neutral pin.
Why Distance between neutral and groun pin in plug is not same?
No U.
When 3 pin plug is used?
To fit a 3-pin socket. The three pins are live, neutral and earth, which must not be confused.
When use a 3-pin mains plug what is the biggest pin for?
On a UK three pin plug the two smaller prongs are Live (brown) and Neutral (blue). The Larger pin is for the Earth wire. This can prevent you getting an electric shock
Is the large pin on an electrical cord end neutral?
In North America the narrow blade is the "hot", the wide blade is the neutral and the U shaped blade is the ground.
What is the difference between neutral and park?
In park the park pin is engaged to prevent the vehicle from rolling away. In neutral there is nothing to prevent the vehicle from rolling away

How is a three pin plug assembled in production?
black = HOT White = Neutral (current carrying) Green = Ground
Why third pin is plastic in 3 pin plug?
Double-insulated electrical appliances, such as electric drills, only require two connections -a line and a neutral- to the supply. An earth (ground) connection is unnecessary. In the UK, all electric socket outlets have shutters that blank off the line and neutral terminals when there is no plug inserted. These shutters are operated by the earth pin of the plug. As double-insulated appliances don't require an earth connection, a plastic earth pin is moulded into the plug in order to open the socket shutters in place of a normal metallic earth pin.
