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!

    The maximum diaspation from a BS 1362 fuse is 1W which is not in itself a problem. The two additional spring contacts are a more likely cause of the melting around the live pin.
