>Brazil uses standard that looks like the Swiss one>it's still differentBased retards
>>220917870I went to Australia few months ago, I didn't know they do this shit so I had to buy pic related at last minute.Angloids cunt trees always make thing extra inconvenient for everyone else, it's like they see the rest of the world as mortal enemy o algo
>>220917920Brazil adopted a newer, separate international standard (IEC 60906-1) designed to be safer and handle higher, varied voltage. WikipediaHere is why they are different and why they cannot always be used interchangeably:Pin Spacing and Diameter: The Brazilian Type N standard has its earthing pin offset by only 3 mm from the center line, while the Swiss Type J uses a 5 mm offset. Additionally, Brazil has two standards within the same socket: 10A (4mm pins) and 20A (4.8mm pins for appliances like air conditioners), whereas Swiss 10A plugs have 4mm pins but 16A plugs are different.Safety Features (Polarization): The Brazilian system is designed for modern safety standards, including a deeper recess to prevent touching live pins and a different polarization (the order of phase and neutral) compared to the Swiss plug.Voltage Differences: The main reason they are not identical is that Brazil needed a system that could accommodate both 127V and 220V securely across the country, whereas Switzerland standardized 220V/230V.Independence from Switzerland: The Brazilian standard was officially introduced by Inmetro (Brazil's National Institute of Metrology) as the NBR 14136, starting in 2001 and becoming mandatory in 2010 to end the chaos of eight different types of plugs previously used, not to emulate Switzerland.
>>220917870UK is the best plug
>>220918065Just rotate the pins on a yank plug and bobs ya mothers brother or some shit
>>220918394>Brazil needed a system that could accommodate both 127V and 220V securely across the countryOk thanks
>>220917870Everything that's not EU is literally retarded, and if you don't get why you are retarded
>>220917870If your plugs aren't as thick as the retards your savingMore fuses than you have fingersMore metal going into grounding than anywhere else on the entire circuitAnd don't get me started on how much shit the socket itself hasThen don't @ meSafety. First.
I'm glad that ever ex-USSR countries adopted the EU standard. Why tf the rest of the world can't adopt a single standard?
>>220918989I appreciate the tip, but I’ve heard British health and safety regulation is so intense that the police would probably arrest me if I even attempt the rotation without a loicense
>>220917870UK one is goated
>>220917870EUropoors ain't got no ground wire?? Does the male side stick out from the wall or something?
>brits think that this is acceptable
>>220919440>goatit's a literal caltrop.every other plug in OP's pic can roll or lie flat, but only the UK one turns into a medieval area-denial weapon when dropped to the ground.
>>220919596It is.
>>220917870Cant take any plugs seriously where only the pins go into the outlet, not the entire plug head. Shit's wobbly
>>220918065>>220917870what i wanna know is why no one else has switches on theirs? how do you turn stuff off completely without unplugging?
>>220919817ours don't yet they are very tight. some can be hard to pull the plug out. how come others are not tight? is it because they're round maybe?
>>220919912Why would you need that? Do you not trust the switch on the thing itself?
>>220919293more fuses doesn't equal more safety>>220919552the ground conductor is on the sides of the plug. frenchies do have a male ground pin in some of their sockets which I admit does make sense.>>220919768no, it's retarded. if one of those wires fail then the load on the wiring that still works doubles and the wiring gauge used in the circuit isn't designed to handle that sort of current. it's a fire hazard. it's also a huge hassle to make any modifications to a ring circuit
>>220919978Many electronics waste phantom power. Subwoofer manufacturers thought it was a good idea to remove their power switch altogether. It turns "off" after sensing no signal from an input for a while, but constantly draws some power watching for a signal to wake up.
>>220917870We use a mix of EU, US/JP. But I like the UK best, the design makes the most sense.
Here's the kind of outlets we usually have
>>220919217Retards are too stupid to notice they're retarded they can't help it
>>220920271>Many electronics waste phantom powerIs it more actual for brits because of electricity bills?
>>220919744Clean your room fucking niggerPlug your shit in and use a switch
used to not care and still mostly don't but I watched some travel vlog where a guy was taking a bus or a train in america. the vlogger lamented about how often the electric sockets in the seats are so worn they don't work anymore. american sockets are apparently very flimsy, that's all I know
>go abroad>need adaptor to plug anything in>plug + adaptor is too heavy so falls straight out of flimsy 2 pin socket>need to jam furniture against plug or construct a pile of items underneath the adaptor to support it
>>220921275>use a retarded 100 year old plug design from more retarded times>complain that your relic doesn't work with modern technology
>>220919978- leaving things unused or unattended for long periods of time- safety- eliminating power consumption totallyidk if any of these have merit but that's whywe also have a habit of turning the switch off before unplugging anything and keeping it off if nothing is plugged in idk why totally unnecessary it's more of an aesthetic thing.
>>220917870i was replacing a socket just 5 minutes ago the fuck
>>220917870We have the 3 pins like UK but its rounded instead of rectangular.Why cant there be a universal pin standard
>>220919912Literally just turn the equipment off
>>220917870We aren't in EU but we use that
>>220919768That's really bad if you have an electrical problem on one switch
>>220919912Am I in a fever dream? Do these things not exist in Australia?
>>220921275The standard plug here is not flimsy at all and is pretty hard to remove.The two pin one is only used for low power applications and has the advantage that it works in pretty much every Euro country.>>220921851The British one is actually newer than the German one you use.The German one was the first widely used plug with safety features that fullfiled all needed criteria which is why it stuck.
>>220917881That's me! :D
>>220921079piss off ching chong bing bong
>>220923008VGH. German Engineering
>>220923434:D
I hate that foreign countries don't have a switch by the socket, drives me insane when I'm abroad and can't turn something off completelyReally silly with microwaves too since I've been to places where you're expected to unplug it when not using it (if only there were a switch by the socket)
>>220924425Autism
>>220924459If you had these you'd understand
>>220924425switch is the only good thing about the british socket desu
