Best plug and socket coming through. Look at this 16A carrying,

Why arent my American sockets gud? :(

>>57167694
Switzerland? I know that 50% of your sockets are Schuko anyway

Whilst that my be true, your plug isn't American and thus your argument is null.

>>57167701
the short version is that the US adopted a socket design before we figured out a good socket design. we can't even change over to 220-240v, which would be nice too.

First things first, the bent prongs only happen with vacuum cleaner plugs.
Secondly, unless you handle the plug like a caveman, the grounds will rarely fallout.

Literally every socket except the 5-15 and 5-20 are british tier bulky

And when it comes to industrial plugs there's nothing close to these things.

Claiming second place for Italy. Ours isn't 'polarized' but is compact as well and reversible.

I see that's IP65 right there.

>>57167713
that's the brazilian standard

>>57167731
We can already get 220V.

>>57168812
we have some 220v plugs in houses for things like washing machines and whatnot, but i don't know of any places that offer 220v out of the majority of the wall outlets. i imagine that would cause some problems if someone tried to build a house or an apartment complex like that.

>>57168819
I know what 220V is used for. You can build a house with 220V outlets all over it. You couldn't use your appliances, but you can do it.

>>57167713
>I know that 50% of your sockets are Schuko anyway

Where the fuck do you see 50% Schuko in Switzerland?

>>57168522
IIRC the standard itself was proposed and accepted as a candidate for a universal plug. It wasn't even made by us(the hues), we were just the only ones to bother adopting it, because apparently our socket industry needed a boost.

>>57167794
>First things first, the bent prongs only happen with vacuum cleaner plugs.
As if that's any excuse. The fact that they bend from something that is such a common chore is just sign of how shit they are.

Schuko is the only thing that comes close.

So it's just a worse looking AS/NZS?

>>57171671
Considering it's been around longer, I'd say that AS/NZS just use slimmer versions of it. There's a lot of waste material in these things, it's pretty easy for slimmer ones to pop up.


Hell, even pic related is a thing.

>>57171647
Get your half kg caltrops out of here, britbong.
Half your points are practically bait tier anyway.
> route cables through walls/ceilings with ease

Your garbage plug is just the result of your country being poor as fuck in the '50s and needing to use dangerous as fuck ring circuits in residences.
Similarly, Schuko was a result of Weimar Republic retards settling on center-tapped split phase residential transformers, then declaring that reversible plugs are somehow a greatly desirable feature.

>>57171687
that wasted space is designed to be there, as the british plug needs a minimum distance of 9.5mm from the pin to the edge of the plug,

it's essentially a retardproof plug and socket.

>>57167694
Why is earth pin not centered?

>>57171647
>not reversible
fuck off british serf

Bayonet connectors? We have the regular screw-on lightbulbs.

But never mind that, how does it feel not to be able to hold the highest office in your own country but always be subject to the royal family, britcuck?

>>57171647
>Fused
Yeah right very few manufactures fuse their plugs these days.
>No chance of accidental shock.
This wouldn't be a problem if the plug wasn't hanging off the wall or outlet.
>All Sockets have a Switch
Thats an optional feature available on all sockets check your priveledge.
>All sockets 230v
So is the rest of Europe so it's not a feature that is unique to you.
>Can be stripped and rewired.
So can every other fucking cable, not a feature unique to your plugs.


3/10 not even good to begin with and expensive as fuck to produce due to the comparatively large amount of materials it takes to make to other plugs.

>>57167754
>ground falls off easily
Never in my entire life have i EVER seen that happen

>>57167833
IEC309 is the best.
>>57171647
Not all BS1363 sockets have switches, although majority of the common ones have.

>>57167731
We already have it for ovens and stoves

Why not just add another 240v socket in homes for whatever else it's good for? I assume something like fast charging

>>57173643
because this isn't something you dip your toes into. either go whole hog and change everything over or don't bother.

if you're going to do something painful, don't do it in little bits. you'll just make the agony go on forever. rip the bandage off and go from there.

>>57173643
>ovens and stoves
ovens and dryers*

>>57173665
But the cost of fully converting millions of homes over probably isn't worth the benefits provided by increased voltage

>>57173487
bayonet bulbs on unpolarized mains is shitty.
but edison bulbs on unpolarized mains is pants-on-head retarded.
