[ARC5] 125 VAC Line? Make Your BA's Happy,

[AKLDGUY .]

As an afterthought to my piece about the insulated pins, sockets here
are *always* mounted with the live (Active) pin and its Neutral partner
mounted uppermost. The Earth pin is therefore always downmost and
is longer so that it enters first and leaves last. If you can get the Earth
pin entered on the correct angle, the other two will follow.

Back at the fuse box, Neutral is connected to Earth and then they
connect to a metal rod driven deep into the soil outside the building.
Everyone knows that the Active wire is the dangerous one - if you
touch it, there may be enough capacitance to ground (the real earth)
to deliver a severe shock.
