The details of British plug are introduced. Applicable place

In home decoration, the design of socket should not only reflect the sense of design, but also pay attention to practicality. For the plugs of various electric mobile phone chargers, there are generally three-hole flat-headed sockets in China. In Britain, the plug is a three-hole square corner plug, which is a little thicker than the domestic plug. British style is not suitable in China because of its different shapes and sizes, which makes some foreigners or people with British style plugs feel a little inconvenient and can only use plug converters. Here is some information about British style.

Characteristics of British plug

British plugs are three square pins with "E, L and N" poles respectively. E (ground) is the ground wire, L (live) is the fire line, and N (zero) is the zero line, following the "left zero and right fire center". Generally speaking, there will be a sign on the plug. English plugs are also marked with corresponding current and voltage values, and English plugs with fuses will be marked with the word "fused". The distance between the three copper pins of the British plug is the same, and the L-pole and N-pole pins are encapsulated, which plays a role in safety protection.

British plugs can be used as supporting electrical appliances and can be used in industries, families, businesses and other places. In particular, British plugs need BS certification for export to Britain. If exported to India and other countries and regions, the requirements for certification are not strict. In addition, there is local protectionism in some countries, and British plugs need to be certified by themselves when they are exported. For example, Saudi countries also use British plugs, but we need Saudi certification SASO to export plugs to Saudi countries.

Applicable occasions and countermeasures of British plugs

British plugs are not only suitable for Britain itself, but also for historical reasons, other countries have adopted its standards, such as Nigeria, Tanzania, India, Pakistan, Malaysia, Singapore, Maldives, China and Hongkong. In addition, because the chargers of Apple mobile phones are all British, universal plugs are often used in China. The universal plug-in has strong applicability, no matter whether your electric plug is round, square or flat.

Folding British plug

The folding British plug is an improvement of the traditional British plug by Min-KyuChoi, a Korean design major. It adds many elements such as folding, two-in-one, superposition and so on, making the plug completely a functional, practical and beautiful work of art..

First, the plug can be turned into a three-phase plug horizontally. You can also add an adapter in parallel or use it with USB output port. Even where there is oil pollution, it is no problem to use because the handle element is added behind the plug.

There are many standards for power plugs in the world, including China standard, American standard, European standard, British standard and South African standard. For British plug users, when you face a socket different from your plug, most people will choose universal plug for socket conversion or use plug converter to solve the problem. Neither foreign nor domestic plugs can be used, and foreign conversion plugs are expensive. Therefore, when you travel or travel abroad, it is necessary to take a few plug converters and make full preparations.
