This isn't the international standard plug

>this isn't the international standard plug
>it's only used in italy and chile
What a terrible timeline we live in!

Perro caca.

but that's the shitty version, where you can't differentiate live and neutral

this is superior

>differentiating live and neutral
shiggy diggy

>differentiate live and neutral
For what purpose?

at least we don't have to use the overengineered UK plug

Why not go full retard and standardize the British plug?

It's a clunky piece of shit.

God tier plugs that i got all over the house.
[spoiler]and i dont even live in chile or italy[/spoiler]

Neutral is (usually) around ground level.
Coming in contact with the live wire is far more dangerous. Things like the outer shit of an Edison scew should be neutral, not live.

...

It's a legacy plug in Italy. Anything new has a schuko or europlug.

>2017
>not using usb sockets instead of the old analog sockets

>that dick in the middle
The European/German is a superior plug.

Schuko has the same problem

its straight an acts as a lever on wallsockets so it puts more force on the contacts and body.
by my autistic senses, this is just inferior to 90° ones

so what you do if the socket has both poles swapped?
> totally not like this happens ever i mean

>neckbeards arguing over what 100+ year old standard is best

Only good plug coming through, everything else is flimsy shit

How? It's just a clunkier version of the Italian plug.

Literally the Thinkpad of plugs.

fucking retarded.

you poorfags need to get on chuko level

Yea maybe for your dryer or charging a car

>Texas flag

Check your sockets and fix them?

>clunkier
It's not. There's a "slim" version.

Step aside plebians, master race reporting in.

That's a Europlug. Italian plugs are basically grounded Europlugs.

>110V

Why do you want your sockets screaming in agony?

And?

its electrifying

Made of shitty plastics and bulky for the sake of being bulky?

That has nothing to do with the plugs themselves, but I agree that the US standard is really bad, it's flimsy as fuck with those flat leads.

The wiring of American cardboard houses can't take 220V.

unfortunately.

We use 220 on different sockets just like you do for appliances that use a lot of electricity, what's the issue

it carries less power at same amperage so it needs bigger wires
that's why you get melting extension cords

>220v masterrace

Literally every American house has 220 so fuck yourself

We too, we have 400V and 240V sockets, voltlet.

They're constantly terrified because they're the most featured type in images for socket burn marks and plug mistreatment.

what are the holes in the leads for, though

Yea so does the US, typically houses get 2 legs of 110 for 220... But I have requested two more legs so I could have 440 for my welder and they added them for free.

Why tho

>that's why you get melting extension cords
I've never melted an extension cable, and I've used some cheap shit.

Also, every US house is wired for 220v, you colossal faggot. Why don't you fuck off back to whatever European shithole and worry about getting stabbed, or better yet actually fucking read up about what you're talking about before spouting it as fact.

That's even more retarded, why don't you use it for everything? Most electronics accept 100-240v anyway.

Schuko can be used to beat someone painfully, it's the best.

Yeah I love trying to unplug a Schuko and have the whole wall socket coming out instead.

>not using danish plugs when choosing an international standard
Anyone who choose something other than danish plugs are idiots. All the good things from the best plugs, none of the downsides of any plug.

Mount the wall socket with something other than cellophane next time

It makes 0 (zero) sense to have the lead exposed and aligned in the same common surface.
It's very dangerous and even the sockets doesn't offer a protection for this issue.
I mean, are these plus designed by insurance companies or what?

It actually isn't stupid at all, it's superior if anything... The only difference is that we ground it in the center, creating "split" phases, reducing the peak voltage relative to ground and making it easier to interface low-power loads. But high-power loads (stoves, water heaters, clothes dryers, etc.) operate across the full voltage, reducing the current required.

And needs about three times the space of a type j.

*blocks your path in the night*
pshhh... nuthin personnel.. kid

Or maybe not use an over engineered plug from a century ago.

>pluglet
Fuck that flimsy garbage, I can literally manhandle schuko in the rain and nothing will happen.

so you can easily nigger-rig bare wires to them

nationalism over sockets is the dumbest thing

The feet destroyer

Brazil has the best standard

why don't (you) go to one those famous mass shootings you often celebrate by the weekend

Lmfao thanks m8

>If only there was an international standard plug
oh wait

I didn't know there was a female connector for this plug

Pretty common in datacenters.

>making it easier to interface low-power loads

>Literal lego face plugs

Faggots sent me a UPS with these plugs, obviously incompatible with everything I had, yelled at them and they send me another better one with 6x Schuko

fuck you
my international standard is better

They seem so happy

It's like you hate efficiency or something

It's like is specifically designed to make trouble

Old PSUs used to have a female connector as well so you could run your CRT monitor and desktop off a single wall plug

It supports a lower amperage how is it better...

>non reversible
>giant plug
Into the trash with your meme smileys.

That's fucking awesome.

Underrated post
+1 for Brazil sockets

>I didn't know there was a female connector for this plug
Have you never seen a UPS?

it's just a joke - don't ruin it with facts

>non reversible
that's a feature

Been an electronics head since the late 70's. I've never once seen an extension cord melt.

Now that I see that, I think I can remember this from the past... But seriously why tf would they stop doing this, it is awesome

>that's a feature
You're an idiot

but isn't that just like a device grade plug? not like the wall mounted grade thing I mean.
Whats the max power for those btw?

see

But the arguably most safe and probably best designed.

How shitty walls do you have?

what efficiency are you talking about? Most stuff is more efficient at higher voltage.

No one has their pc on the desk anymore.

I miss those AT PSU days. Haven't seen a PSU designed like that ever since ATX became the standard. I used to have every PC I built set up like that.

LCD monitors operate at ~19v instead of thousands and usually have a power brick instead of running directly off mains

Until you step on it

Not one of my LCD monitors has a brick on it.

Do higher end monitors have power bricks? Non of mine have.
Also power bricks are shit. Why would you want a power brick lying around instead of just a cable?

Swapping the sockets doesn't matter since the phase difference would only be pi radians between live and neutral and current would flow like normal. The issue arises when you, as a person would touch live vs neutral. If you touch neutral, you would always be at 0 V potential difference between you and the electrical generator (via ground), and so no current would flow. If you touch live, you would experience 120/240 volts AC compared to neutral / generator ground and a huge current would flow.

what do you think the hole in the left plug is for?

the ground you turd

The hole is for French sockets.
The outer contacts are the Schuko ground.

And the guy was clearly talking about the slim plug.

It's hard to get lucky.

Wait, the ground is in line with the other pins? I thought Brazilian standard was according to international standard. Ours looks like

Brick is either in the monitor or on the cable.
Advantage of having it before the monitor is less heat to the monitor and less space needed in the monitor itself.

Also makes it more modular.
