Standardization is a totalitarian impulse. When 6 people set out to solve the same problem independently, that WILL come back with at least 6 differnt solutions, all of which may be equally-valid. The market's job is to winnow the field and decide which competing ideas are best. But because of what Pajeet noticed, no one can actually choose which power plug they use.

Also, EE fag here....

From a safety standpoint, I'd throw out any plug that didn't have a ground pin. That means two of those die immediately.

Next I'd throw away any plugs that were achiral (Mexico, Lux) since they allow the plug to be reversed. Now with AC, it might not matter if the country's standard for electrictity distribution didn't have split-phase assumptions. But such a plug wouldn't give you the choice.

The Brit's plugs have some excellent safety features that prevent toddlers from digging into the socket with knives and whatnot.

Honestly, I like the Swiss plugs for their profile.

Not true. Stalin industrialized the USSR in an extraordinarily short period of time and Mao increased life expectancy and literary rates leaps and bounds above that of his predecessors.

Planned economies have been consistently more successful than market economies. Any failures you can point to, I can point to ten even worse failures in capitalist-based economies.

240 v supply is single phase.. 415 three phase, but I've seen 42 v single phase ac control circuits on three phase units.. most common voltages in dc are 12 and 24, and ac circuits are generally 240/415 at 50 hz

My issue with UL is that it isn't about safety. They classify your product and force design's into it even if they do not apply. If UL was on the Glock they would have killed the product because of how few pieces it has.

We do millions of cycles for our own internal testing then after the product has been out for a few years some sites are requiring UL. The main thing we fail is when you bring our product to 300C and leave it their over a weekend. What the fuck is that shit?

Whats really crazy is the 50/60 Hz geographic divide in Japan. Over a century ago (1895) the Japs bought generators from the Krauts (AEG) and us Burgers (General Electric) which operated at different frequencies. Thus, to this day there remains an East/West line frequency "dateline" - must make for interesting issues with stuff sensitive to this.

Yes but it is fucking me right now. The market want to go module cert but they way they do it is fucked up. Basically you can be classified as a module but CE can also make you get fully re-certed if they say you are using it in a different enough manor. So for RF that can mean just changing the housing thus changing the RF attunement. For mechanical I think they are a bit nicer. Power supplies iv seen them go both ways.

Correct. And by feeding all three phases it keeps down the current on the neutral wire, which in turns keep the voltage on the neutral close to zero.

The neutral is almost always off from zero due to wiring resistance.

>>128229187
Russian, German and French pattern of sockets is interchangeable. Most plugs fit to all of them, it's just that with Russian one you won't ground your device. Which is literally a non-issue since majority of installations in countries that use those sockets only have 4 wires - 3 phases and neutral. No ground/protection one, so if you want to really have a semblance of a ground in those installations all you can do is to bridge the ground prong with neutral.

Also those standards are state-regulated.

If you want a real shitshow - look at Japanese energetic system. There are regions where houses have 110V/60Hz and 230/50Hz, as a result most electronic devices have converters bundled with them.

Only to the appliances that needs them, and the wires will be thinner so the cost will be the same overall as for a single phase solution where thicker wires would be needed.

Ground connecter is used to safely conduct fault currents, and only then.
And, before anyone asks why some devices have only two prongs, it's allowed when the tool is double insulated.
Just to tell a story... Power in Glorious Deutschland is 50Hz, 220VAC. American GI's brought their record players with them when they'd get stationed there. A transformer could be bought at the PX, but that doesn't change the 50Hz. So when GI's would play their records in Germany, the music would be slower by about 15%. This is because record players have synchronous motors that rotate based on the frequency of power from the mains. Pretty funny, methinks. Some applications you need correct voltage and frequency.

No we don't. That is an Australian innovation where you can flick the switch and don't have to unplug the device or cover it because all power from the outlet is cutoff. Its quite nifty for say PC setups or entertainment units. Everyone else has some serious safety issues with theirs...

You can't predict supply and demand therefore planning economies tend to result in lack of innovation(SPACE PROGRAMS DON'T NEED NO COMPUTERS!) and unbalanced production - USSR and communist states are known fro lack of basic consumer goods in shops in the late 70's and 80's, but little is known that they've had gigantic overproduction of steel and concrete that kinda laid down in warehouses for years.

When it came to more elaborate consumer goods it was even worse - let's say you wanted a car. You kinda "signed up" in a queue which allowed you to pay for one after some time, in Poland it was about 7 years. Yes. 7 fucking years just so you can pay for a car you want to have and it was usually the same shitty car everybody else had with no changes over the decades. Same applied to flats btw. I wonder how your American lifestyle would adapt to these hmmm... limitations.

In the US that's not true.
There are at least hundreds of thousands of single-phase transformers with higher than 6 kilovolt primaries.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_Australian_inventions

Per capita, Australia has invented and innovated more than any other country on Earth.

2002 – Scramjet – On 30 July 2002, the University of Queensland's HyShot team and their international partners conducted the first ever successful test flight of a scramjet. This test was conducted at the rocket range in outback South Australia called Woomera.[81][82]

2003 – Blast Glass – A ballistic and blast resistant glass system was invented by Peter Stephinson. Unlike conventional bulletproof glass it incorporates an air cavity to absorb the shock wave of explosions, and was effective in protecting the Australian Embassy in the Jakarta bombings of 2004.[83]

2006 – Cervical Cancer Vaccine – Professor Ian Frazer from University of Queensland created a preventative for cervical cancer, working with researchers in the United States. The commercial application, Gardasil, is a vaccine to work against certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV).[84]

2010 – Robotic Visual Horizon – An automated system that allows unmanned aeroplanes to perform complex manoeuvres was adapted from the way a bee's brain processes visual information during flight by researchers and engineers at the Vision Centre, the Queensland Brain Institute and the School of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering at the University of Queensland.[85]

>>128240142
2011 – Anti-Hacking Software Kernel – National ICT Australia (NICTA), and Open Kernel Labs (OK Labs) released the seL4 microkernel, a small operating system kernel which regulates access to a computer's hardware and is able to distinguish between trusted and untrusted software, allowing secure financial or secret data to be used on the same platform as everyday applications, protecting the secure data from hackers.[86]

2012 – Quantum bit – A team of Australian scientists built the first quantum bit, the basic unit of quantum computing, using a single phosphorus atom implanted into a silicon chip. Research leaders include Andrew Dzurak of the University of Sydney and Andrea Morello of the University of NSW.[87]

2013 – Blood test to prevent stillbirth – A Melbourne medical research institution, Mercy Health, identified a method of analysing RNA fragments in a mother's blood that indicates oxygen and nutrient deprivation in the foetus.[88]

2015 - Quantum Logic Gate - Engineers at the University of New South Wales successfully built a Quantum Logic Gate using two qubits into silicon. Logic gates are the main idea behind computational theory, allowing qubits to be utilised for computation, paving the way for commercial applications.

That is in just the last 15 years.

In the US they are fed with three conductors plus an equipment ground. One of the three conductors is a neutral.

In other words, single phase.

Example:

>>
>>128239324
That's why they spread the load by providing all three phases. It's also easier to only provide one single type of service to customers regardless.

Here the selection of appliances is also a lot greater when you can select 400v alternatives too.

>>producing anything at home
>dyin over here
People rarely do this here as well, but when you built a house it's hard to predict what will YOU do there, let alone predict what some other guy will do if you're just a developer. As every line is 3-phase anyway, it's just practical to take all 3 and have few meh advantages like the fact that parts of your house will still work if the phase dies for a while etc.
>>
>>128239588
A switch is one more thing that can fail and create a fire hazard.
>>
>>128229187
It's a safety thing. Not all electric grid were developed at the same time. These different plugs prevent appliances with different voltage and frequency requirements from the region from being plugged in. Different plugs are good.
>>
>>128240424
Over here they're either like you've said or 3-phase.

It likely doesn't matter, I just know that in more modern blocks they put 3-phase sockets in kitchens exactly for those.
>>
>>128240091
>>adding transformers to every light on a dishwaster = simple

They feed all the indicators/LEDs//LCDs etc. with one (maybe two) step down transformers.
>>
>>128239618
All modern equipment is designed to not care about live and neutral. If you design equipment to actually depend on one wire being neutral you deserve to get electrocuted.

>>128240539
In the USA we enforce permanent roles for producers vs. consumers.

Practically all wall plugs here are type L. You can get some sockets compatible with American connectors, and much of the heavy duty electronics you can get (like microwave ovens) use European connectors, as well as some equipment like old radios with American connectors.

In the end, you have to buy adapters for type L sockets to make those devices work. And in the case of American devices, use a 110->220V transformer.

Only 2 abo inventions ever are listed first and separately to distinguish the before white man period of Australia.

It both deflects from SJW's being mad that whites make abos look like sub humans and also highlights how worthless they are. Some of the most important inventions ever made by Man was done by white men in Aus in the last 150 years and the abos have 2 sticks in 40,000+.

In the end most devices use DC, so rectification and transformation should take care of that in the case of a single device.

However a couple of weeks ago I eavesdropped a two TV engineers complaining about clients having their TV sets fried through the video connectors. Digital electronics are very sensitive to high voltage peaks.

>>128240971
Switches are mechanical parts in the circuit and they are subject to wear and manufacturing faults. The number of parts in a circuit shall be kept to a minimum to lower the risks and increase reliability.

A bad connection - even in a switch - creates heat and can lead to a fire.
>>
>>128240971

He doesn't know what he is talking about. Its a redundancy. If the switch doesn't function, the wall socket is now on par with everyone else's sockets and subject to the same safety issues. The mechanism in of itself cannot cause or increase fire risk or electrical problems if it break internally or is damaged. It's a 1 or 0 system. It either allows power to flow through the wall socket or it doesn't, that is it.

Our switch sockets have massively reduced electrical fires and that is the reason it is not just standard but mandatory.

Power input ports won't even care. A good static zap won't make a power supply flinch. Power spikes are much, much dirtier than that.
Data inputs should be well-protected against spikes, but some designers cheap out.
>>128241389
The only failure mode I can think of is someone banging a hard object against the switch, which now comes uncomfortably close to the other power lead. I don't think that's likely.

>Seems more costly than just running another 14ga wire, over the life of the home.

>>128240971
Every time you turn on or off a switch a tiny spark is created. Most switches are properly fabricated or insulated, but as Sven said, replace them if they get too old.

Besides in your home you should make all your electric installation with the thickest wire possible to avoid fires.

>>128241505
>but some designers cheap out.
That's the issue. Satellite TV providers love to use cheap receivers, which heat a lot and often end up causing fires.
>>
>>128241248

Except if the switch is damaged and is in the "off" phase no power can possibly run through the socket. It has physically closed off the socket from mains power. If it is broken or damaged and the circuit is open - it poses no more risk than if it functioned correctly - beyond the inability to turn off mains power supply to the socket like everyone elses sockets in the world.

Switches unless purposely damaged do not break or fail before the sockets themselves burn out or the internal housing/building wiring needs replacing. Any further safety concerns are controlled by redundancy in the external ( sometimes internal) fuse boxes.
