  • The earth wire, striped green and yellow, is connected to the terminal marked E; this should be the longest of the three wires so that it is the last to become detached if the cable is strained.
  • The live wire (brown) is connected to the terminal marked L.
  • The neutral wire (blue) is connected to the terminal marked N.

What is a 3 way electrical outlet plug?

Usually referred to as a 3-prong plug if we are talking about a normal home electrical issue. It is a "male plug" which fits into a "female receptacle". It has one rounded prong (Earth ground) and two spade like prongs which are "Hot" and "Neutral". The orientation of the third grounding prong insures that the Hot and Neutral are corrected properly to your appliance. This is most important when the appliance has a metal outside to reduce shock hazard. In typical installations Black wire is connected to Hot, White to Neutral and Green to Ground. Neutral and Ground are bonded together at your electric box so at any outlet the resistance (as measured by an Ohm Meter) would be quite low. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A three-pin plug contains of neutral plug(left),live plug(right)and earth plug(up).The live wireis usually in the color of brown while earth wire is in the colour of green and yellow,and neutral wire is in the colour of blue.Live plug is connected with the elctrical supply.The live wire carries a voltage which drives an electric current through the electric appliance.The neutral wire offers a re-turn way for electric wire while the earth wire is a safety deivce.It protects us from electric shock in case an electric appliance is faulty.
