International plugs and sockets

Chris Pearson
As we leave the EU, with all its standardization, I am bound to wonder why plugs and sockets have not been subject to this process. It isn't even that we have our funny square pins and the rest have round ones. Type C (2 pin) is common, but earthed plugs are mostly type E or F. IEC site.


Oh well, too late now!

    AJJewsbury:

    Are you going to change the symbol "I" for current as well - after all that's another French invention (by Monsieur André-Marie Ampère) - perhaps to the more obvious (to Anglo Saxons) "C"? (Although you might then have to come up  with something different for all those correction factors...)




    Oui, mais n'est-ce pas « l'intensité de courant » ?
