How to find live, neutral and earth point of a random 3 pin socket

Question

Accepted Answer

To find live, neutral, and earth points of a 3-pin socket, use a multimeter and follow safety precautions.

Ensure the socket is turned off and unplugged before starting.
Set the multimeter to AC voltage mode.
Insert the multimeter's probes into the socket's holes, one at a time.
The probe connected to the live wire will show a voltage reading.
The probe connected to the neutral wire will show a near-zero voltage reading.
The earth wire should not show any voltage reading.
Repeat the process for each hole to confirm the connections.
Always prioritize safety and consult a professional if unsure.

Accepted Answer

We can do this by measuring voltage levels of 230 volt. Common one would be live, one with higher voltage will be neutral and one with lower voltage level will be earth because neutral is at higher voltage level than earth
