This is the Australian power point configuration, with the earth on the bottom and active and neutral on the left and right, respectively.

It's just a way of turning off the power to something without removing the plug.

I think earth is just as commonly used as ground.

Its a Socket with Lightswitch over it.

Can't understand why people say active, live, neutral.

When it's obviously positive and negative.

Neutral especially makes zero sense.
>>
or off

think of a plug socket like ur gf, you dont want her turned on all the time, she will constantly be wet and asking for the D, what if ur busy, tired or want a sandwiche she just wants the D evuntually she will take another D and cheat, same with plug

so we switch it off so it doesnt go around being a socket whore

Some of my relatives used to work for telecom back in the day and they usually referred to them as active and neutral. I'm not really clear on why, and perhaps things have changed or their expression wasn't common.

>>675623990
No, the switches on the power points don't replace off switches on devices. It's just away of turning of the power from the wall without removing the plug.

>>675623990
we have switches on them too, but we also have the switches on the power point which cuts power COMPLETELY

>>675623960
Israel easily. Wtf is up with that?

EU is so close to master race, but their adapters need to be gigantic because they're not flush with the wall. Reversible plugs are GOAT

Our Aus/NZ/China ones are surprisingly shit. I often find multiboards that have plugs that don't work properly any more, get blocked on the other side somehow or only work if you carefully place the plug in. Fuck these dumb shits.
>>
>>675623990
Everything's the same except we have an extra switch on the powerpoint to cut or give power.

reason why aus GPO's have switches it thanks to aus having the highest safety standards in the world.

Been out of the trade for ten years & last i knew it was active, neutral, earth & switch wire

Haha dad had to fight for his redundancy. I asked him a year ago if he regretted leaving and he said yes. We would have been really wealthy.

couldn't you plug it in upside down though? unless the spacing is different or something.

>>675625133
Neat video. I think there are shuttered options in Oz, but they aren't required or standard. They definitely have long earth pins, and I think the earth is on the bottom to keep it connected if something pushes on it from about. Not really clear about that last bit, but I recall something about it's design being a safety feature in itself.

I didn't actually know that about the aus GPOs. I wonder if clipsal, or schnider's "chinese clipsal" has their own equivalent range of bakelite...
>>
>>675626175
they usually dont unless your plug has one prong thats larger
>>675625854
you could plug it upside down
>>675625896
my prongs are both equally small so they fit either way. some who buy plugs with different sized prongs usually shave the larger one

my country has 2 variants which would be both slots equal or one slot larger than the other so they basically shave the prongs or remove the circle prong(i have no idea what its called) like this

The main line into the house is 240 volt and 150, 200, 250 amps depending on the size of house. From the breaker box circuits are divided out. Most are 15-20 amps. 15 is very common since the smaller gauge wire is cheaper.

yeah as soon as i read "Gauge" I zoned out. We use
>>675629528
>>675629664
cross sectional area of the cable for sizes. i would imagin 14 gauge would be about 1.5mm, 12 gauge is about 2.5mm and 10 gauge is about 6mm

service entrance is the power line from the transformer(mains) into the house's service panel

>>675630012
Service entrance is the line from the powerline outside. Feeder is used to supply power from a main panel to a sub panel.

Aus and china have the safest ones. Slits not holes. Angled, only goes in one way. And has switches.

Seriously who the fuck wouldnt want switches?
What if an appliance doesnt have a switch on it?
Why the fuck would you want to unplug it everytime you were done.
>>
>>675626577
in general, there are voltage drops whenever you plug in devices (slightly or huge)

so in general, yes, we try to unify. but if its 220VAC or 230VAC doesnt matter "that much", because sometimes there are voltage drops of 10V in a 230VAC line
>>
>>675631422
eh. It's a christian/catholic basis with indians/chinese fucking everywhere in major cities. Easter is just a 4 day weekend with hot-crossed buns (FROM FUKKEN BAKERS DELIGHT CUNT) and hiding chocolate in your back yard for the kiddies to find. Xmas is where you go to your richest relatives house en force and eat all the things. Wouldn't have it any other way mate.

I live an area with a lot of snake sightings in the western suburbs of Melbourne. Worst part too it's an estate. But youd have to be dumb as fuck to get bitten. Like really fucking dumb. If you see them alot you are probably less likely to be hurt. You'll grow up knowing what do. So generally most aussies would be calm around snakes. Its the spiders that are fuckers. But this is heavily dependent on you location and how tidy you are. Im in pretty messy but i see fuck all spiders let alone dangerous ones. But my parents place growing up had a heap of redbacks and white tails about, mainly outside tho. Thank fuck.
