Well?
for me it's type I the UOOOOHH plug
>>101544340Kute
Everything except A and B means shithole country
>>101544351shut the fuck up you insufferable faggot
>>101544340Type B just works. Simple as.
>>101544340type B and type B only
why are there so many?
>>101544394In the beginning, there was type A and B. However, these designs aren't very safe so everyone came up with slightly better shapes which are more safe.Unfortunately if your country electrified too early, you're probably stuck with A and B.
>>101544340I wish we used type G in the US.
>>101544340Upside down Brazil type N plugs. That way if a penny or something falls between the plug and the wall it won't fucking explode and you can fit three of them in a standard electrical receptacle size.
Type A, B, C, and F are sockets, the rest are mental illnesses
>>101544363>>101544707type A is an abomination>looks symmetrical>until you try to plug something in and realize that it just barely isn'tif you're going to have a plug that omits the ground pin at all (you probably shouldn't) you should have a provision in your electrical code that says "anything with a two-pin plug must be prepared for either polarity"
>>101544340are D/M and J/N really identical, or is there some difference not shown in the diagram?
europoor has localisation enabled
>>101544340Redpill me on type L. How is it the only reversible grounded plug in the whole image?
As a type h user I wish ours were recessed and upside down
>>101544783They do have that, it's very very old an antique even. You'll see them on very old tall lamps/table lamps.
>>101544363enjoy getting fried when your shit shorts and you have no ground.
>>101544340
>>101544707F is hideous, the socket looks like an axe wound in the wall.
>>101544454So europoors and turd worlders being different for the sake of being different. Got it.
>>101544887F looks like a li'l robot head
>>101544810>gets the current in a random side Italians don’t care about safety concerns, and in any case their low IQ electricians would have fucked up the cabling upstream the plug
>>101544810Type F is grounded and reversible too
Type A or type C.Just like usb.Ground pins are bloat. Without them, most houses will consume 33% less copper and lower the risks of electrical shocks by half.
>>1015443403 pin plug looks gay to me, only for faggots who are afraid of short circuiting their houseif you are afraid of getting electrocuted, you shouldn't have electricity/internet in the first placet. not amerimutts
>>101544807Outdated picture. Shucko is legal to use in Denmark now since a few years.
>>101544340Type IEverything else is trash
>>101544340I like the happy K socket :D
For me it's the edison screw
>>101544887if people weren't so hung up on optics we could have a global standard around it alreadyat least in 220V nations
CEFK gang
>>101544340There's not my dick in your mom's pussy in your pic
>>101544340>mogs your puny wallsocketNothing personnel' kid
>>101545669Enjoy the humming in your speakers lmao
>move to Spain>get a new flat>it's renovated>yeah we renovated the whole electrical installation it's amazing now>power plugs still don't have ground connectionHow is this country still so far behind baffles me.
>>101545434Isn't euro power split phase? Shouldn't it be getting current from both sides?
type k makes me feel happy
>>101546718No, no one uses split phase in Europe.Grid is three-phase and the sockets are one phase, one return, and one protective earth connection.
>>101544959Says faggot in the minority>>101545669
>>101546683attatch a wire from your device to the radiatorthat should fix it
>>101546767I don't have radiators, it's all through air duct. Not a big deal really, but I'm just amazed at how stuck this country is.
Imagine having 50hz electricitycouldn't be me
>>101546718Split phase is where there's a center tap in the transformer, creating two hots and a neutral, instead of just the hots. Using the neutral halves the voltage. So either they're getting current on both sides (opposing polarity) or there's split phase happening even if they're only getting half the phase to their home.
>>101544340Type K is kawaii as fuark
>>101546822No no no. Delete that. You can't have the vikings knowing you know what K stands for.
>>101544340Type G, can any other type be effectively used as a flail weapon?
Shuko is objectively the best:>notches on the side to hold the plug so a tiny, accidental jerk doesn't unplug it>ground is built into the plug, it isn't a separate prong>reversible>>101545458>wazzuup?!
>>101546861>>reversibleThat's a bad thing
Schuko my beloved <3>>101546871the only gripe I have, really. but to me it only mattered once in my life so far, when jerry-rigging a plug to an LED light which needed the phase to be on the correct lead. no problem tho, find the hot side with a phase tester and never touch it again.
>>101546759there is possibility in hospitals or industial, better not make assumptions
>>101546822kek
>>101544340replace power plugs with USB-C, simple as
>>101544340>>101545669Type I isn’t represented correctly in these images, it should look like:>>101545458
>>101546651entirely foreign to mutts so doesn't count
>>101544340Schuko is okay but E is king for meThey hold for dear life, are usually compatible with schuko, and don't have flimsy ass shieetmetal foil as ground
>>101545669>somebody who doesnt play with based radio receptionradio frequency interferences affect not just your radio reception but your health as wellI just got my home installation grounded (it wasn't... kill me I know) and the difference is night and daymy heart rate went down 5 points and I sleep much betterespecially with all these devices around my bed, my sleep was difficult beforeand now with smart meters injecting weird high-frequency shit into your lines, it got worseground yourselves anons
>>101546871>>101547013It's AC - alternating current, it doesn't matter which is the "hot" lead and which is "neutral" as long as the circuit is closed. Learn the basics of electricity before posting here.
>>101544340I like the one combination where babies come out
>>101548168peak midwit take
Everything non-reversible can get fucked. C has no ground. That only leaves F and L, but I've never seen L in real life.
>>101544363kinda of lost cause type 1 is good country
>>101548201>he doesn't know how electricity works
>>101544340Tip F šuko utikač, of course.
>>101544883There be 400V in most of those countries too
>>101548201It literally does not matter unless it's 1930 or something. The third contact is always 0 and will stop a metal chassis from going live.
>>101548326>he doesn't how electrical systems work and doesn't realize that neutral is usually very near ground potential and therefore much safer
>>101548430>neutral is usually very near ground potential and therefore much saferWhat the fuck are you on about, are you suggesting chassis should be neutral bonded instead?
>>101548372It's gotten worse since
>>101548492No.Retard.Polarity matters because it can enable safer designs.Which contact in that pic would you rather have connected to live?
>>101548492No he is not suggesting that. Reread the post.
>>101548558>Which contact in that pic would you rather have connected to live?Well, looking back at the time when I stuck my fingers into an E27 socket when I was like 4, it's all the same shit really.>>101548564Okay and? Reversing live and neutral literally does not affect the function of a device so what the fuck does it matter?
>>101548595>Okay and? Reversing live and neutral literally does not affect the function of a device so what the fuck does it matter?Because safety, retard.
>>101548603Safety how, am I going to be touching shit inside my devices while they are plugged in? Not really.
>>101548611Who needs airbags?Am I going to be crashing into other cars? Not really.
>>101548595Safety. There's voltage on the live wire and no voltage on the neutral. Ever wondered why toasters have polarity enforced plugs? Yeah rewire that to nema standard and stick a work down the heater and bypass your rcd while your at it. Great fun half the time.
>>101548595Not everything has a transformer or rectifier inside. Plenty of things that run on mains directly are wired just safe enough to work if you plug them in with the correct polarity.Honestly the best case for reversible plugs is opposing hots instead of a neutral, because then the industry can't cheap out.
>>101546683Ground connection is a fucking meme. Insulated is superior
>>101548627bullshit. voltage is a measure of potential difference. you always have to have two for the tango.But le neutral wire, if safe ground is present, is in same potential. Thus you don't get electrocuted by touching le neutral wire only. But if you touch phase line, the ground is lava as there will be a potential difference..
>>101548627>Ever wondered why toasters have polarity enforced plugs?I don't think they do, there are no polarity enforced plugs in my country besides 3 phase ones, though few people also own toasters either.>Yeah rewire that to nema standard and stick a work down the heaterNEMA is 'murican. Those ARE polarized. Euro plugs are the ones that mostly aren't. >bypass your rcd while your at itI mean I lived for 10 years with only RCD for the bathroom socket and the last 9 years with pic related for RCD protection, yes they were left unconnected, fucking nothing. I kept the water heater on every shower too. Even took the heater out myself once to remove massive limescale buildup. Still alive.This place is also a whole 23 years newer than the last, it's just fucking absurd.
>>101548788The voltage between live and ground (e.g. your grounded body touching a live wire) is much lower than the voltage between neutral and ground
>>101548558If you cared about safed design then plug wouldn't be energised when exposed
>>101548894Did you know stupid exists?Did you know stupid and curiosity can exist in the same person?Now combine stupidity and curiosity, but also knowing juuuust enough to get yourself killed.Not energizing the plug when exposed is great, but wouldn't it be better if you could do that *and* design plugs and appliances better?
>>101544384B
>>101548168guess i learned something new, i always thought LED drivers needed to be connected only one way. i guess if it's a light fixture with a switch it does matter, as you want the switch to disconnect the live wire from the rest of the circuit when switched off.
>>101546767Assuming the radiator pipes are metal, which is increasingly not the case.
>>101544807I'm also have E and old soviet like C in my apartment in Moldova.
>>101544783>if you're going to have a plug that omits the ground pin at all (you probably shouldn't) you should have a provision in your electrical code that says "anything with a two-pin plug must be prepared for either polarity"You sound have that either way. You can't rely on the socket being properly installed. The european plugs don't even have polarity, it's practically useless from a safety standpoint
>>101544340G is the superior choice here clearly
>>101544340Type E ofcGrounded, non directional, secure, simple
>>101550070>Type E>non directionalu dum?
>>101550070Sorry meant type F>>101544810Type F is grounded too, prongs around the edge is the ground
>>101550092>>101550089Yeah I am dumb
>>101548804Look at this loser he does not own a 3 phase toaster
I've used most of these and type G is by far the best.
>>101548804Polarization is mostly irrelevant these days as much because even the cheapest appliances are driven by electronics yes but it's still a nice thing to have. That's mainly why type E is superior other being much sturdier. Poolan in general has a great code, not too authoritarian, not too lenient.>yes they were left unconnectedwtf lmao>those are polarizedNema is usually not polarized the outlets just have a funny shape kekkkkkk
>>101544363>no grounds>calls others shithole.ameribrowns are a special kind of stupid.
>>101544340what’s never shown in these infographics is that types A and B are ridiculously small
>>101544340C and L work finebtw, the image seems to be a few ones. for example, IIRC in argentina they have type I that aren't grounded... they suck but that's another topic.
>>101544340F is objectively the best, but I like K because :DDD
>>101546651Ah yes, getting ready for the AMD 8000 series.>>101544340Well the best would be invertable and have ground. So type F it is.No clue what the rest of the world is doing.
Type K for KAWAIII
