Norway Heavy duty plugs and sockets |
 |
 |
 |
| In Norway electricity, rather than gas, is
commonly used for
cookers and stoves (komfyr), as well as heating water. 25A -
230V flat pin stove plugs and sockets can be found in nearly
each home. 25A plugs are 'downsized' to 16A Schuko (CEE 7/4) when induction cooktops are installed. CEE 60309 is the common standard for industrial applications, but older types of three-phase plugs with four of five flat pins are still available for repair. |
