A 3-pin plug is generally considered better than a 2-pin plug because it provides an additional grounding pin, which enhances safety by reducing the risk of electric shock. The grounding pin helps prevent electrical faults by directing excess current safely to the ground. Additionally, 3-pin plugs are often designed to handle higher power loads, making them more suitable for appliances with higher energy demands. Ultimately, the choice depends on the specific application and the safety standards in your region.
