In fact I'll bet more people die from stepping on a loose power plug and then slipping and falling on their head, than from anything related to electricity.

That'd be fairly hard as you need to unscrew the plug from the underside to access the fuse.

>>61769708
Anyone who has ever died from sticking a fork in a plug socket, or anyone who ever died from their fingers slipping and making contact with the prongs while it was still half plugged in. Sure it's not like millions of people are dying because of it, but don't act like your plugs aren't worse.

>>61767833
nope there are also thin 2 prong plugs that dont have ground

>>61769920

Unless it's a one pronged fork I don't see how it will fit.

You're assuming they jam the fork into two holes at once.

If they jam it into phase and neutral or phase and ground at the same time, then yes. If it just jams into phase then they become the circuit to ground.

Regular chargers work fine, the iBook g4 charger, which was used in other models as well, is heavy and likes to fall out of sockets, even power bar if the shift enough. Of course it doesn't help when you have loose sockets. A fix for it however was an extension cable you could get for it.

>>61773417
They're simple and take very little space, can pair up many of them for the same space.

>>61776173
There are adapters for those.

Anyway, they are the same sockets. America has largely replaced/upgraded to having earthed sockets as standard while in Japan it's still standard to not have the earth pin (they're more found in particular areas that need them, like around water or outdoors), but on the other hand Japan has standardized whole house RCD, so the lack of an earth is less of a problem.

I electrocuted myself last night after trying to fix a pull cord lightswitch. Why the fuck do these things exist?

>>61780338

>and have to have insulation.
That actually made me laugh IRL!

They actually quite literally sat in houses made of icelolly sticks drinking from asbestos covered kettles and we're supposed to be the "whimsically silly" ones!

>>61780377
Yea our houses are fucking rugged.

I was in USA a couple of years back and an American asked me whether it was true that there were roads in UK which is only wide enough for one car at a time. He wouldn't believe me when I told him that they're actually pretty common in the countryside.

>>61780361
Dunno. But obviously the cord or case shouldn't conduct and when you open such things up you obviously flip your fuse switch for the related room(s).

Hope you at least had a fast-acting residual-current circuit breaker or such.

Yeah I did that after getting electrocuted for about 3 seconds. Was no stronger than one of those shock pens, but it was indeed shocking and caused me to spasm and fall off the chair. I'm still unable to fix it because all I have is a tiny screwdriver.

Cars are a fucking joke.
Every single card made today is a ugly plastic nissan duke made to overhang into either lane in a triple carriage motorway.

I wish car designers had to be forced to live in britain 3 years prior to designing a car so that they weren't ugly impractical pieces of shit.

We know what happens to things which are made of big bubbly plastic and given daft designs.
Just look at UK tower block refurbs!
None of this is even relevant i'm just wound up at how fucked our nation is!

>>61780442

So no residual-current circuit breaker. Have that installed.

> Was no stronger than one of those shock pens
Lucky you.

> I'm still unable to fix it because all I have is a tiny screwdriver.
Buy a bunch of screwdrivers or screwdriver bits then? Wera and PB swiss make nice ones, but you might also be fine with something cheap. Maybe even Chinese ones.

Ultimately the problem isn't that you don't have insulated screwdrivers but that you didn't flip the fuse, which you ALWAYS should do when messing with installed electrical devices where you can't pull the plug.

>>61780478
Why's it fucked?

ive worked on electrical engineering projects before where ive had to nigger rig a ground into a plug for safetey reasons.

actually, one time kinda similar when I was rewiring a shitty guitar I bough I noticed that the string and metal components on it were not grounded. this makes it act as a giant antenna and will literally pick up different radio stations when you hit different strings (I could hit a high e string and pick up mexican radio, or hit a b string and it would switch stations to other mexican radio)

So i alligator clipped the a string from behind the bridge to the metal case on the guitar jack to ground my instrument.

My kitchen has 50A 240V circuit. 2 20A 120v circuits and 2 15A 120v circuits. And I think the lights for the kitchen are tied into the 15A curcuit that is wired for the outlets in the dining room.

Wouldn't be too difficult to kill yourself with the 50A/240v one.

In my old middle school, in one of the older buildings would have these bad boys all over the place but with the box more covered. They'd go from the ceiling to about waste high on the walls. I remember one really bord kid was playing with one with a pencile since it was right next to his desk and the next thing he know or saw was a spree of sparks spraying all over his desk and on the floor. Laugh my ass off hard that day. Damit I grew up in a poor as fuck school.

>>61783235
No, anon.

>>61781165
You get to always have the phase on the same prong.
No turning around has -some- advantages.
And we use the slim one without ground for smaller things that are double insulated anyways.

>>61779632
>Are you telling me that an american house can only run on little over 1kw?
It depends on the circuits. I have 20A breakers myself.
Most of the cheap multitaps only support 10-15A max.
You can also add another phase and get 220V for a circuit with something like aircon or your oven on it.

>>61786387
Standard recommended for new construction in a kitchen is a 50A 240V for the oven/range, 2 20A 120V for smaller appliances, and 2 15A 120v for various other outlets and lighting fixtures.

>>61768581
The stats are mostly referring to 18 year old black "kids" killing each other over drugs and territory. This all happens in shithole inner city projects built by liberals to support the disenfranchised African American community.

As for actually child age children? It's not the guns you need to worry about, it's the car, medicine cabinet and pool. A child is far, far more likely to get run over, drown or poison themselves than get shot.

I'm American and I have a kettle you jagged-toothed retard.

>>61786796
The problem is it takes twice as long to boil the same amount of water as a european kettle

220v vs 120v

american 120v at 15A (normal american circuit amperage) is a maximum power draw of 1800w

220v at 15A however is going to give you 3300w.

You will probably find that most of your kettles are fixed wattage, not amperage.

Go find your kettle and tell me what it's rated wattage is.

RCD/GFCI are complex and expensive compared to grounding. I've been in many houses ~20 years old where the interruptor on every single protective device has failed closed and nobody noticed. Further, lots of equipment was designed with the availability of an earth ground in mind for noise shielding. Simply adapting 3->2 prong is a brain dead reduction in protection.
