  1. ​ @jamm8284 on uk phone chargers the 3rd prong is just plastic so it isn't connected to ground

  2.  @jamm8284  yes but if the 3rd prong is plastic like on phone chargers then it isn't connected to anything

  3.  @jamm8284  the fuse in a uk plug just connects the live output to the live input just like a fuse in a fuse box

  5.  @jamm8284  if you remove the plastic light switch cover (please don't do it) then you can see that there are metal conductors under it

  6.  @jamm8284  no because if you wire a uk plug into a uk socket without the 3rd prong (also please don't do that) then it works

  7.  @jamm8284  when you said "the 3rd prong pushes down a switch" do you mean that it opens the shutters on the 2 main holes? because the 3rd prong (plastic or metal) always opens the shutters on the 2 main holes

  8.  @jamm8284  then what do you mean? the british sockets don't have an internal switch
