- a third pole, the protective contact is intended to dissipate dangerous voltages d. H. ground as soon as the electrical circuit is closed by the other two poles, the outer conductor and the neutral conductor. Therefore, the connection with the protective contact should be made first, so be anticipatory. In the case of the earthing contact plug, this is ensured via contact surfaces on the plug side and the associated contact springs in the earthing contact socket.
