Overview of uncommon types for special purposes |
In
some countries you may find sockets that either deviate from
the commonly used standard type, or are fully different. Such
alternative plugs and
sockets, can be used for various reasons, for example: (i) local networks meant for electronic or medical equipment that have to be protected against voltage spikes or power outage; (ii) circuits that offer a different voltage, frequency or DC rather than AC; (iii) outlets for equipment that do not tolerate changing line and neutral (a possibility when using Schuko or Italian type plugs); (iv) connectors designed for special spaces (raised floors etc.). (v) sockets and plugs to connect ceiling lamps. (vi) examples of Extra Low Voltage plugs / sockets. |
