Answer for UK, Europe and countries running a 50 Hz supply service.
In basic many countries don't use these and therefore need an adaptor
Cost more to make
Uses 33% more metal than 2 pin plus
However,
The 3 pin plug is considerd safer as its fuse carrying and fuse is load dependant, easy change of fuse and it carries an earth cable from the appliance in to the ring main so is safer
If it's not three pin it can electricute the person causes got no earth wire for it to be
-- bent or broken pin in the front
-- solder-blob short in the back
Pin 1 = ground, Pin 2 = hot/plus, Pin 3 = cold/minus
To clean a 3-pin plug, first unplug it from the socket. Use a dry cloth or a small brush to remove dirt and dust from the pins. Avoid using water or liquid cleaners, as this can cause damage to the plug.
Yes, you can.
The ground blade is the longest in a three blade plug.
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.

Both use the same kind of 3 pin plug.

A 3 pin plug has a clamp on it to stop the wires from being ripped out of the plug when people use the wire to remove a plug from the wall instead of gripping the plug and removing it the proper way.
Pin 1 = ground, Pin 2 = hot/plus, Pin 3 = cold/minus
3 pin plug
Need to know voltage and type of plug to answer this question.
The biggest pin on a 3-pin mains plug is usually the earth pin, which is used for grounding the appliance to prevent electric shock and ensure electrical safety.
orange is ground, power is red/white Ground is Plug 3, Pin 8 Keyed Power is Plug 3 Pin 4 Battery Power is Plug 3 pin 7
Yes, you can.
Same as the UK 3 pin : )
The ground blade is the longest in a three blade plug.
