THE CONFIGURATION OF A THREE PIN WALL SOCKET IS THAT IT SHOULD BE WITH A SWITCH TO OPERATE THE PHASE THE NEXT SAME LEVEL PIN IS FOR THE NUETRAL AND THE THIRD TOP PIN IS FOR THE GROUND OR EARTH.THIS SOCKET IS USUALLY USED FOR ELECTRICAL HOME APPLIANCES LIKE COMPUTERS REFRIGIRATORS DEEP FREEZERS IRONS VACCUM CLEANERS MICROVAVES ETC ETC.

What is the pin configuration of 4-pin stepper motor?

one will be ground the other 3 will be steps when each is powered indiviually


What would cause a wall socket to catch on fire?

An outlet will only get hot enough to cause a fire if:There is a problem with the wiring connecting it to the supply, this will become quickly obvious when in use.It is overloaded. The electrical supply is supposed to have a fuse or breaker to prevent this.There is also a 3rd cause of potential fire:3. A loose wall socket connectionLoose wall socket connections can be a MAJOR concern, causing the plug and socket to overheat. This is primarily a problem on older homes.


Why third pin is plastic in 3 pin plug?

Double-insulated electrical appliances, such as electric drills, only require two connections -a line and a neutral- to the supply. An earth (ground) connection is unnecessary. In the UK, all electric socket outlets have shutters that blank off the line and neutral terminals when there is no plug inserted. These shutters are operated by the earth pin of the plug. As double-insulated appliances don't require an earth connection, a plastic earth pin is moulded into the plug in order to open the socket shutters in place of a normal metallic earth pin.


What is the pin configuration of 74190 IC?

You can just Google the IC number and check the datasheet. This is very useful for getting the pin configuration of other IC as well. Anyway 7486 is a 14pins, 4 independence gates of XOR Gate Input Output #1 Pin1 Pin2 PIN3 #2 Pin4 Pin5 PIN6 #3 Pin10Pin9 Pin8 #4 Pin13Pin12 Pin11 Others Vcc Pin 14 Gnd Pin 7 Hope that helps.


Why does not tester light up when it is touched to neutral of 3 pin socket?

Because the neutral is simply the return path in a complete circuit. It doesn't carry any power - that's only found in the live wire.
