No, it just has an additional conductor to separate the neutral from the ground, and has a third prong in the receptacle to receive the appliance grounding conductor through the cordset.
The minimum acceptable tension force for a grounding contact in a receptacle is typically specified by the manufacturer and can vary depending on the specific design and application requirements. It is important to refer to the product specifications or industry standards to determine the appropriate tension force for the grounding contact.
The grounding wire is not intended to be a load-carrying conductor in ordinary use, but rather a SAFETY conductor. Grounding wires are often "one size smaller" than the associated load conductors in the same cable.
A duplex receptacle has two devices in a composite assembly on one yoke. It is the receptacle that is what you commonly think of as a receptacle [two places to plug in a lamp...] rather than a single receptacle, which has a place to connect one device. Removing the connecting bar as described in earlier answer merely allows two circuits or separate control of the two devices. original answer: a duplex receptacle is a normal looking receptacle but the little piece of copper bar between the terminal screws on the power side has been broken off and two different circuits feed the two screws- WRONG!
They are smaller than ordinary hippos
The earth pin is called the equipment grounding conductor. The National Electric Code requires this conductor to be the first to make contact with the receptacle and the last to break contact with the receptacle, the way manufacturers comply with this requirement was to make the pin longer.

The earth pin is physically thicker to create a larger surface area. When it makes contact with the ground in the receptacle it is more positive and secure a contact. Also a larger surface area reduces the resistance between the two surfaces which is what is required in the grounding system.
For a home, to calculate the amount of receptacle outlets on a 15 amp circuit, each receptacle outlet should be calculated as not drawing more than one amp each.
MIGUEL
connect the cord to a grounding outlet get a variable current source connect it to the ground terminal on the receptacle and the frame of the tool if its a 20 amp circuit and receptacle it should take 20a thru the grounding system without any problems like wires overheating or measure from the ground terminal to the tool frame it should be lees than .5 ohm the ohm meter does not test the ability of the grounding system to conduct a fault to ground before the circuit breaker trips there are testers capable of doing this all automatically with the tool on and off if the ohmmeter is not capable of testing at 20A the test should not be considered reliable
Soup mugs tend to be larger than ordinary mugs, with a wider lip. They're more of a cross between an ordinary mug and a bowl, and often are double-handled.
Yes

There is nothing unusual about the sun. It is brighter and larger than average, but nothing out of the ordinary.
Some stars are smaller than the sun, some are smaller, and some are about the same size. The sun is a star that is larger than average, but not out of the ordinary.
No. The sun is larger than the average star but is nothing out of the ordinary.
False. The sun is one of billions of stars in the Milky Way, but it is not exceedingly large. The sun is larger than the average star, but nothing out of the ordinary. There are many stars much larger than the sun. The sun only appears larger than other stars because it is much closer to Earth.
