The ground pin or earth pin is the uppermost pin on your plug. It's purpose is to provide a safety barrier between you and the supply in the event of an overload or in case of an accident.
To ground a surge protector, simply plug it into a properly grounded 3-prong electrical outlet. The surge protector should have a built-in grounding pin that connects to the ground in the outlet. This helps redirect excess electricity from power surges to the ground, protecting your devices.
You can convert a two-pin plug to a three-pin plug by purchasing a plug adapter that has a grounding prong. This adapter will allow you to safely connect your device with a three-pin outlet. It's important to ensure the adapter is properly rated for the voltage and amperage of your device to avoid any safety hazards.

It is safest to use a grounded or earthed plug in a 3-pin outlet. This plug provides an extra prong for grounding, which helps protect against electrical shocks and potential electrical fires. Always ensure that the plug matches the outlet type to prevent any safety hazards.
it is the brown wire in a three pin plug
The ground blade is the longest in a three blade plug.
A NEMA 10-30R plug is compatible with a three-pronged outlet that has two flat parallel blades and a grounding pin.
Center pin is 12 V, outside is ground.
The ground wire on a 3-wire dryer plug is typically the middle pin on the plug. It is important to ensure that the plug is installed correctly to prevent electric shock and ensure the safe operation of the dryer. If you are unsure, it is recommended to consult a qualified electrician.
Pin 1 = ground, Pin 2 = hot/plus, Pin 3 = cold/minus
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.
The length of the ground prong is simply a matter of design for a plug application. Not all ground connectors are longer, the design of the ground terminal is simply to avoid improper wiring of the device.
