Why are electric plug pins cut in the middle? That is the answer

 

If you look carefully at the pin in this electric plug, you will see that there is a cut in the center of this pin.

There are many such things around us.  Which we keep thinking about.  But we don't even know the reason behind it.  One of them is the electric plug.  Many people have questioned the size or design of this plug that connects electricity to any electrical object.  These electric plugs have different designs.  It comes in different sizes.  For example, a two-pin plug or a three-pin plug.  If you think about it, you will notice that electric items that have more power have a three pin plug.

If you look carefully at the pin in this electric plug, you will see that there is a cut in the center of this pin.  These cuts will appear not only in three-pin electric plugs, but also in two-pin electric plugs.

 There are two types of three pin electric plugs.  The first has a brass pin and the second has an aluminum pin.  But pins that are made of brass are prone to rust or damage, so they are polished with nickel.  After that, the pins are cut.  That's why the shape of that pin looks like this.

 Let us now understand its function

Brass cut mark pin is a good conductor of electricity.  The current flows smoothly in it, but if the power exceeds the limit, the pins become hot.  These brass pins can also expand due to overheating.  Therefore, it can spread and stick in the socket and the cover can also be damaged.

 So to prevent overheating and resizing, a cut is made in the pin.  Whenever electricity flows in such a pin, the power is split in two due to the incision, so it does not heat up quickly.  Therefore, the risk of damage is less.

So the next time you take the plug, remember that Kurt is the mark, no.

 These 3 pin plugs are used for heavy items like air conditioners.  They use more electricity.  As a result more electricity flows through this plug.  If there are no cut marks on the three pins in them, they may change shape as the load increases.  So it must have cut marks.

 Three pin plugs are used for heavy applications, which last a long time.  Therefore, its plugs and pins must be strong to prevent it from getting damaged.
