About Fuerteventura:

Fuerteventura is the second largest of the Spanish Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean, situated off the northwest coast of Africa.

Declared a biosphere reserve by UNESCO in 2009, Fuerteventura is blessed with the archipelago’s most stunning beaches, a ruggedly beautiful landscape and over 3,000 hours of sunshine each year.

It has also long been admired as a top destination for visitors interested in cultural heritage thanks to its large number of centuries-old mansions and beautiful churches.

Fuerteventura has a large number of ports along its coast, making it an excellent departure point for the rest of the Canary Islands. Also, with the routes operated by a range of excellent ferry companies, there’s no shortage of sailing options.

About Spain:

Spain is a beautiful and diverse country located in the south west of Europe. As a country well known for its beaches, the geographical and cultural diversity in Spain often comes across as a surprise to its visitors.

This exotic country really has it all, from lush meadows, green valleys and hills to snowy mountains and almost desert zones in the South. No wonder Spain ranks the third most visited European country.

In terms of getting to Spain by ferry, with the North, East and South sides of the country facing the Sea, there’s no shortage of options. From the UK, there are regular scheduled crossings available and though the crossings on offer are long, the ships are cruise like in standard which makes for an extremely pleasant trip. The same applies to the connection across the Mediterranean Sea from Italy.

From the North African coast, you can depart from Morocco, Melilla and Algeria. The services from Morocco in particular are very popular with many companies operating the connection across the strait of Gibraltar.

The Balearic and Canary Islands provide numerous connections to the mainland.

Hello Hello- FT Island | Reviews By Kristen

This just came out today. Three lines into the song I paused it, called my friend (a huge FT Island fan) into my dorm room, and told her this was the best MV and song they’ve ever released.

Lyrics: 7/5
I really love FT Island’s style. They don’t do many slow songs about loss and love, they tend to be quicker paced (probably because this is a band, and not just a solo singer, so everyone has to do their parts). But this song is no different.  The song is about a girl who stole their heart and suddenly left them. They can’t forget her and are just telling her that they still love her. It has a strong “Bad Woman” feel to it, but the music itself is like “Bad Woman” meets “I Hope” (two of my favorite songs). I’ll explain the chorus a bit in the “Other Things” section, if you don’t know Korean it may be a bit confusing.
“The word annyeong is hello hello/ now it’s goodbye goodbye/ Even if I constantly try to forget you/ It can’t be done/ I hello hello/ Oh you, goodbye goodbye/ it’s a word that means I still love you”

Dance: NA
FT Island is one of only 2 idol bands in Korea (the other being C. N. Blue). That means one singer and the other members are on guitar or drums. FT Island is the original, so their singer only sings, and he doesn’t dance (CN Blue’s members all play an instrument).

Story: (starts to complain)/5
I say “Starts to complain” because I really don’t know how to rate it. The story itself would get a “3/5” for being a little unclear, but it has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with the lyrics and story in the song, so I feel like it should get a “0/5” for that, but it was still really cool so I want to give it a “5/5″… So IDK, you chose which rating you want.

Hongki is seen walking down the street when he spots a crowd in front of a house with smoke coming out the windows. Presumably he knows someone in the house, because he runs in to save them. He runs through the house until he finds all the FT Island members in a room together (playing their instruments, but I think it’s just supposed to represent him finding them) and gets everyone out when the firefighters were too afraid to enter.

So that’s where it has nothing to do with the song. It’s a love song, but he isn’t saving the girl he loves, he’s saving the other members. And at the end of the video you see him just walking down the street listening to the song on his MP3 player. He looks at the building and it’s fine, then it fades back to the fire and getting his friends out. That part makes no real sense, so I think it’s a lead in to an upcoming MV?

Other Things

OK, here’s the thing with the chorus: In Korean the word 안녕 (annyeong) can be used to say both “Hello” and “Goodbye”. The song is about the duality of that, saying the boy is saying “Hello”, while when the girl say it it turns into “Goodbye”. Think of it like “Aloha” in Hawaiian. He’s also talking about the changing of the girl, saying she’s first using “Annyeong” as “Hello”, then suddenly starts saying it to mean “Goodbye”.

I LOVE the style of this song. Like I said, it’s kind of “Bad Woman” meets “I Hope” in the feel, but it also kind of has a “Nightmare before Christmas” feel for some reason on the guitar solos (that’s just my opinion). And I LOVE Hongki’s hair. First he had 80s hair in “Bad Woman”, then that orange mess in “I Hope”, then in “Love Love Love” that scarlet… stuff (it looked like a bad wig), and this is just simple black hair. It actually looks a lot like Jung Yonghwa’s debut hairstyle (Jung Yonghwa is the head of CN Blue, who acted with Hongki in a drama before debut).

The same problem as always with FT Island MVs though- other than full group shots you barely see the other members. They severely lack in face time, especially leader Jonghun and drummer Minhwan. At one point I actually thought they’d lost a member.

Not sure if this relates to the maybe-sequel, but when the members get out of the building Hongki isn’t with them, only 4 leave the building, then suddenly Hongki is standing apart from the group who rushed to them to make sure they were OK and is standing apart looking sad… So… Either he wasn’t there that day of filming, they just kind of put him off to the side, or he was supposed to be dead.

The dead thing might make sense, he collapses in the hall of the building and is unconcious until a white light shines on his face, which he follows to his members. I took that as just, something showed him the way, but now I’m wondering if he didn’t die. The smoke seems to have stopped when he gets up, like it’s frozen in the background. He walks through a door into a room that probably shouldn’t be there and finds the members… Is it supposed to be that he’s a ghost still trying to get them out?

Shizo (Charlie, hello!), performance reviews, staging Island – Afisha-Theatres

Performance

About the performance Reviews (1)

The action takes place in the private clinic of Dr. Nemur, today. Employees of the clinic go on a risky experiment. They are trying to increase his intelligence by surgically affecting the human brain. Scientists achieve huge fantastic success in an experiment on the brain of feeble-minded janitor Charlie. In the closed space of the clinic, various characters are being treated, experiencing post-traumatic stress syndrome. Deep dramatic problems are resolved in a farcical, tragicomic form, which is natural for the productions of the classics of absurdist drama…

1God, this is bad!

Theater The island did not bode well. Located on Petrogradka, named after the honored worker of arts, and on the flyer – the proud word “PREMIERA”.

A play based on Flowers for Algernon, affectionately called Shizo Hello Charlie. We will immediately make a discount on “I am an artist, this is how I see it”, on contemporary art and even on “Shizo”. None of these parameters saves the setting.

The impression that the play was staged by IT nerds. The result has been achieved, only some brief retelling with a mediocre game, vulgar effects and tasteless surroundings has turned out. nine0003

In general, the performance of the actors resembles something between the Saratov Youth Theater and the TV series “Trace”. I want to stand up and shout “Lyudmila Prokofievna, you are overacting!! And you, Yegor Alekseevich, are not playing well!”

“It smells like tattered cats again!” – an exact replica from the stage, because there really is a pungent smell of cheap perfume in the hall. The special effects really deliver! Flashing lights for drama, of course, is great, but the monitor on the wall is more memorable. It lights up blue throughout the production and only once turns on and shows a real surgical operation with meat and blood. Brrr… what an abomination! nine0003

Music cannot be vulgar. She becomes vulgar when out of place and when there is too much of her. Appocaliptica buzzes the entire first compartment. And the details speak about the taste of the dresser. Beige boots are added to the black and white classic. Apparently, because there were no others, and beige is almost white.

The premiere of “Shizo” took place on September 23 and the performance has been played for half a year (!!!). Here is what Oleg Yudin, the protagonist of the “premier”, writes: “The possibility of acting in the theater is the best way to get away from reality and from yourself.” Oleg, please come to your senses and see what is happening on your stage. nine0003

People were leaving the performance, an awkward silence reigned in the cloakroom. The quality of the production is so low that it is simply a shame to sell tickets for it.

Electricity in Spain, Spanish electrics

		Practical matters of Spain – Electricity   The standard electric current in Spain is 220 volts but it is common in older places to find the old 115 volt supply. Both systems use plugs with two round pins. Travel adaptors can be purchased to convert plugs from other countries. Many appliances in Spain are not earthed and it is common to find electric sockets in bathrooms, near water supplies so extreme care should be exercised. In rural areas supply is often interrupted during storms.   The national electricity company is Endesa however recent legislation has opened the electricity supply market to other companies. When you move to Spain you will need to sign a new contract with your supplier. You will need to prove residency at the address and you will need to have a bank account set up to pay your bills. You may also need to provide a previous bill from the address along with your passport or Spanish NIE number.   Importing electrical goods into Spain If you are coming from the USA and your electrical appliances are 110/120v then you will need a transformer in order to use them. These transofrmers are available in Spain however you must ensure that you purchase the correct wattage according to the appliances you will use. Many modern appliances now come with a small switch that enables you to use on 110/240v.   If you are coming from an EU country such as the UK and the appliances are 240v then they should work fine in Spain. You will however have to fit a Spanish two pin plug. Do not be tempted, especially on larger appliances to simply use a plug adaptor on a long term basis. These adaptors tend to be very weak, get very hot and can work loose, causing a fire hazard.   You might find that 240V appliances work slowly. Such as kettles taking longer to heat. This is because they are designed to work at an optimum voltage of 240v whereas in Spain the voltage can vary. Sometimes it can be as low as 200V.   Electricity bills in Spain Your electricity bill in Spain will consist of two parts. The first is the number of units you have used. The second is a standing charge. This is calculated on the capacity that your contract allows. This is controlled by the trip in your main circuit box. The higher the rating, the higher your standing charge will be.

National Holidays of Spain Property related Buying property guide Moving to Spain? Here you will find lots of help and advice The cost of living in Spain explained Ask for advice on mortgages   The electricity wiring in Spain There are very few ring mains in Spain. Most circuits are designed to be stub circuits (or spurs). Although the earth cable is green or green and yellow, the colours for neutral and live tend to vary. Light switches are often placed on the neutral side meaning that even when it is switched off there may be live current in the appliance.     The standard Spanish plug There are two types of electric plug in Spain. The small two-pin plug is suitable for small appliances that are double insulated and don’t need an earth. The larger two-pin plug has an earth strip on the side of the plug. The live and neutral are not distinguished as the plug can be inserted either way up. Spanish plugs do not carry their own individual fuses like English plugs.         Wind generated electricity Spain has a large number of wind farms and wind turbines generate a large percentage of the country’s electricity. Spain also has many solar power farms, some of huge proportions.   When it comes to renewable energy, Spain is very advanced and quick to accept new methods. Windfarm near Tarifa (Andalucia)     Televisions, DVDs and Video recorders Scart plugs (often called Peritel) are widely used in Spain meaning that televisions and DVDs can quite easily be connected. HDMI is also standard on all new Spanish televisions and DVD players.   UK televisions can normally be used in Spain. Older sets may be able to receive the PAL picture but not the sound. Modern sets are often fine as they accept multi-standard signals. Television sets from countries where the standard is NTSC or SECAM will not work on the Spanish PAL system, unless you run the signal through a multi-standard video or DVD player.   In 2010 Spain is expecting to be fully digital with television transmissions. This means that almost all UK sets will be 100% compatible. See a full feature on television in Spain here Fitting Sky television in Spain Although, according to Sky’s contract terms this is illegal, it is common practice for residents in Spain to have Sky fitted. There are lots of installation companies but choose carefuly. You will probably need a dish of at least 1.2m diameter. You will need to have a UK address to register with Sky. If you do not have this then your installer should be able to provide a card for you but expect to pay more for this. Free-to-air channels using ASTRA may need a larger dish. Sky boxes purchased in the UK will be fine to bring to Spain with you and can save you a a lot of money.   Computers Computers from anywhere in the world will be fine in Spain. You will have to change the power plugs of course. You will also need to chage the system settings to take account of the new time zones etc. We would highly recommend that a power surge unit is fitted to your computer power supply. The current in Spain varies from time to time and is often cut or has major spikes.   Spain’s electricity and the environment It has to be said that when it comes to generating electricity, Spain has gone a long way to ensure renewable sources. Spain is littered with wind turbines and currently they produce on average 40% of the country’s electricity. It was reported that during high winds one weekend that Spain’s windturbines produced 53% of the country’s electricity – the equivalent of 11 nuclear power stations! At one point on Sunday morning Spain was producing more electricity than it was using.   In the past when this has happened windfarms have been switched off. Now Spain exports surplus electricity.   Spain has the third highest number of turbines in the world, following the USA and Germany.       Bargain priced Insurance for your holiday home in Spain or for your Spanish home.

Electricity in Spain – Spain Expat

Information on your electronics, electrical appliances and setting up electicity for your flat or house.

…most new electronics like digital cameras (or their chargers rather), external harddrives, printers, mp3 players, and of course laptops/computers are of the 110V – 240V variety.

Endesa is the national electricity company.

There are two different prong sizes for the electrical plug-ins. Apparently, this is done for safety: The fat-pronged plugs include a ground; the thin ones don’t. However, you can buy a converter, and break off the little plastic piece which sticks out so that you don’t use it as a converter (but is meant to be broken off).

USA:
For an 120 Volt appliance to work, you need to buy a hulking transformer (available at El Corte Ingles). Transformers have to be capable of handling the wattage of the appliance or else it will overheat and you might ruin the appliance. I think you multiply the ampere rating of the device by 240 (volts) to determine the minimum size of the transformer you need, but don’t blame me if I’m wrong. For my 1.6 Amp monitor, for instance, I bought a transformer rated 500 V.A. Most new computers are rated for 110V – 240V so they can be plugged right in once you buy a Spanish cable. My American-bought Dell monitor is also rated at 110V – 240V, but it only worked at 640 x 480 pixels until I bought a transformer for it. Strange, but true.

Speaking of modern electronics, most new electronics like digital cameras (or their chargers rather), external harddrives, printers, mp3 players, and of course laptops/computers are of the 110V – 240V variety. One indication is that they will have a little (but heavy) box on the cord that you’ll have found gets pretty hot sometimes (and it should say 110V – 240V on it somewhere). That’s the transformer, so if your device has this, then you should be able to plug it in with only a little adapter that you get at the hardware store (ferreteria). It’s about an inch wide, is usually white, and should be able to accommodate North American 110V electrical plugs with a bit of effort (I don’t think they were designed for this originally so you may have to play with it). They run about 1.50€.

UK: the following excerpts should give you a good idea of what to expect for British expats, as well as some useful information for non-EU expats as well. On the power supply: 

Spain, like the rest of Europe (including the UK) has a nominal mains electricity supply of 230 volts AC at 50Hz, This means, in general, that appliances bought in the UK will work in Spain and vice versa. The only difference you may notice is that items such as kettles and toasters may take longer to heat, as in the UK the actual voltage tends to be over 230V, whereas in Spain it is usually well under, and can be as low as 206V.

 About domestic supply and wiring: 

Your bill will consist of various items, including (obviously) a charge for units consumed and also a standing charge. The standing charge will vary depending on the capacity (“potencia”) that your contract allows, and which is controlled by a trip in your main circuit breaker box. Common potencias are 3.3Kw, 5.5Kw and 8.8Kw. The higher your allowance, the higher the standing charge you pay. The potencia can be upgraded – but at a considerable price. In your property there will usually be a cream coloured plastic box which will contain various circuit breakers (trips) for various sections of your wiring. There will also be an RCD (Residual Current Device) which will trip in the event of any current leakage. There is no ring main as used in the UK; everything is in the form of stub circuits. Although earth is green, or green and yellow stripes, there does not appear to be any consistent colour code for line and neutral. The switches for things such as lights are often placed on the neutral side, and the device itself may often still be “live” even though switched off.

 Plugs and sockets: 

There are some weird and wonderful older arrangements still around, but for many years Spain has utilised the standard European socket with a two pin arrangement and side earth. There are two types of plug, both of which fit the standard socket. A smaller two pin plug for double insulated appliances which don’t need an earth, and a larger two pin and side earth strip for those requiring an earth. Line and neutral are not distinguished – plugs can go into sockets either way. Plugs are not individually fused. Appliances with UK sockets can be adapted to work with Spanish sockets either by replacing the UK plug or using a cheap and widely available adaptor.

 Televisions and Video Recorders: 

The analogue terrestrial transmission system (RF) used in Spain differs from that in the UK. This means that you can get picture, but no sound, through the aerial input, if you use older UK TV or video in Spain. Most modern televisions are multistandard, which means they can work on either the British or Spanish system. When it comes to connecting UK and Spanish TVs, videos and digiboxes together the situation is easier. Using the SCART (sometimes called Peritel) connectors all modern equipment has, all combinations can be used quite happily, as the SCART connections are standard throughout Europe.

 Telephones, modems and fax machines: 

The Spanish telephone system uses a different connector (RJ11) from the British. The connector is physically the same as that used in the US. Unfortunately, sometimes UK / US adaptors bought in the UK and used in Spain will not work perfectly – you can make calls, and receive them, but the phone won’t ring. If you want a device (phone or fax, probably) to physically ring, you’ll need the proper adaptor, which can be hard to get hold of or (probably better), cut off the UK plug and fit a Spanish one. This can be fiddly, and is best done with the use of a special tool, but many larger outlets stock them and they’re not expensive. If your device needs a mains input then, obviously, it will need a new plug or adaptor for that. Once the correct adaptor(s) have been fitted, your telephone equipment will work perfectly well.

 Computers: 

With the provisos given about changing mains plugs and, if necessary, modem plugs, your UK computer equipment will be perfectly at home in Spain. You will need to change your system settings to take account of the new location and dialling codes, but that’s all.

Plug Details

Used in: North and Central America, Japan

The Type A electrical plug (or flat blade attachment plug) is an ungrounded plug with two flat parallel pins. Although the American and Japanese plugs appear identical, the neutral pin on the American plug is wider than the live pin, whereas on the Japanese plug both pins are the same size. As a result, Japanese plugs can be used in the US but often not the other way around.

The pins on Type A and Type B plugs have a hole near the tip that fits into ‘bumps’ found on the contact wipers of some sockets, so that the pins are gripped more tightly allowing for better contact and also to prevent the plug from slipping out of the socket. Some sockets have spring-action blades that grip the sides of the pins, making the holes obsolete.

Used in: North and Central America, Japan

The Type B electrical plug has two flat parallel pins and a round grounding (or earth) pin. The earth pin is longer than the other two so that the device is grounded before the power is connected. As with the type A plugs, the American and Japanese versions vary slightly.

Type B plugs are rated at 15 amps.

Used in: Europe, with the exception of the UK, Ireland, Cyprus and Malta

The Type C electrical plug (or Europlug) is a two-wire plug that has two round pins. It fits into any socket that accepts 4.0 – 4.8 mm round contacts on 19 mm centres. They are being replaced by E, F, J, K or N sockets which work perfectly with Type C plugs.

Type C plugs are generally limited for use in appliances that require 2.5 amps or less.

Used in: India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Namibia

The Type D electrical plug has three large round pins in a triangular pattern. Type M plugs are often used alongside Type D plugs for larger appliances and as a result, some sockets work with both Type D and Type M plugs.

Type D plugs are rated 5 amps.

Used in: France, Belgium, Slovakia and Tunisia among others

The Type E electrical plug has two 4.8 mm round pins spaced 19 mm apart and a hole for the socket’s male earthing pin. The Type E plug has a rounded shape and the Type E socket has a round recess. Type E plugs are rated 16 amps.

Note: The CEE 7/7 plug was developed to work with Type E and Type F sockets with a female contact (to accept the earthing pin of the Type E socket) and has earthing clips on both sides (to work with Type F sockets).

Used in: Germany, Austria, the Netherlands and Spain among others

The Type F electrical plug (also known as a Schuko plug) has two 4.8 mm round pins spaced 19 mm apart. It is similar to the Type E plug but has two earth clips on the side rather than a female earth contact. The CEE 7/7 plug was developed to work with sockets E and F and has grounding clips on both sides (to work with Type F sockets) and a female contact (to accept the grounding pin of the type E socket).

Type F plugs are rated 16 amps.

Used in: UK, Ireland, Cyprus, Malta, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong

The Type G electrical plug has three rectangular blades in a triangular pattern and has an incorporated fuse (usually a 3 amps fuse for smaller appliances such as a computer and a 13 amps one for heavy duty appliances such as heaters). British sockets have shutters on the live and neutral contacts so that foreign objects can’t be introduced into them.

Used in: Israel

The Type H plug is unique to Israel and has two flat pins in a V-shape as well as a grounding pin. It is however currently being phased out in favour of a round-pinned version. The holes in Type H sockets are wide in the middle so as to accommodate the round-pinned version of the Type H plug as well as Type C plugs.

Used in: Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Argentina

The Type I plug has two flat pins in a V-shape as well as a grounding pin. A version of the plug, which only has the two flat pins, exists as well. The Australian plug also works with sockets in China.

Australia’s standard plug/socket system is rated 10 amps but a plug/socket configuration rated 15 amps also exists, although the ground pin is wider. A standard 10 amp plug will fit into a 15 amp socket but not the other way around.

Used in: Switzerland and Lichtenstein

The Type J plug has two round pins as well as a grounding pin. Although the Type J plug looks a lot like the Brazilian Type N plug it is incompatible with the Type N socket as the earth pin is further away from the centre line than on Type N. However, Type C plugs are perfectly compatible with Type J sockets.

Type J plugs are rated 10 amps.

Used in: Denmark and Greenland

The Type K plug has two round pins as well as a grounding pin. It is similar to Type F, the difference being that Type F has grounding clips instead of a grounding pin. Type C plugs are perfectly compatible with Type F sockets. Type E plugs and sockets are also used in Denmark.

Used in: Italy

There are two variations of the Type L plug, one rated at 10 amps, and one at 16 amps. The 10 amp version has two round pins that are 4 mm thick and spaced 5. 5 mm apart, with a grounding pin in the middle. The 16 amp version has two round pins that are 5 mm thick, spaced 8mm apart, as well as a grounding pin. Italy has a kind of “universal” socket that comprises a “schuko” socket for C, E, F and L plugs and a “bipasso” socket for L and C plugs.

Used in: South Africa, Swaziland, Lesotho

The Type M plug has three round pins in a triangular pattern and looks similar to the Indian Type D plug, but its pins are much larger. Type M plugs are sometimes used for bigger appliances in countries that make use of Type D plugs, as well as in Israel (Type H). Therefore, sockets in these countries sometimes work with Type M plugs.

Used in: Brazil

There are two variations of the Type N plug, one rated at 10 amps, and one at 20 amps. The 10 amp version has two round pins that are 4 mm thick, and a grounding pin. The 20 amp version, used for heavier appliances, has two round pins 4.8 mm in diameter, and a grounding pin. The Type N socket was designed to work with Type C plugs as well.

Brazil is one of the few countries that uses two types of voltage. While most states use 127 V, some of them use 220 V. It is therefore important to find out the local voltage before plugging in your appliance (note: wrong voltage can destroy your appliance). Many appliances sold in Brazil are dual voltage.

Type O is used exclusively in Thailand.

The type O socket and plug, rated at 16 amps, are the official standard in Thailand. The plug system was designed in 2006, but its use is not widespread as yet. It is currently gradually being phased in. The standard is described in TIS 166-2549.

Type O consists of two power pins and an earth pin, which are round and have a 4. 8 mm diameter. The power pins measure 19 mm in length, they have 10 mm long insulated sleeves and their centers are spaced 19 mm apart.

Electrical Outlet Standard Development History

• Principles for classifying electrical outlets by type
• Classification of socket types and their compatibility

History of electrical outlet standards

During the development of electrical equipment, a large number of different sockets have been created that allow you to connect electrical appliances. At the first stages of development, there were no uniform standards, each large company developed its own type of sockets. Subsequently, electrical outlet design standards were adopted. However, in different countries this was done in different years, and different standards were approved.

This is why electrical plugs around the world today have different designs. To streamline these standards, in 1998 the US Department of Commerce developed a standard for labeling electrical outlets. This designation standard is used today as a single one. At the same time, there are other classifications of sockets by class and type in European and Asian countries.

Principles for Classifying Electrical Outlet Types

In the general classification of sockets, 15 types are distinguished. Sockets differ significantly from each other in the form of contacts, their size and location. Some standards have mandatory grounding, some standards do not have grounding.
All types of sockets that fall into a single standard are included in the national standards for electrical sockets in their countries.
The following figure shows images of 15 types of standard sockets.

As you can see from the picture, electrical sockets are distinguished by:

• fork body shape;
• the number of plug holes in the housing;
• plug hole shape;
• diameter or size of plug holes;
• location of plug holes;
• by the presence of clamping devices.

Classification of socket types and their compatibility

Electrical outlets Type A
Sockets of this type have become widespread in the countries of North and Central America and in Japan. They also have the international Class II classification. The plug has two parallel pins. There are the following features in the design of sockets. In the American version, one end is wider than the other end. In the Japanese version, the contacts have exactly the same dimensions.

Electrical sockets Type B
Sockets of this type have become widespread, as well as sockets of Type A, in the countries of North and Central America and in Japan. They are also internationally classified Class I. The alternative designation for American Type B is NEMA 5-15, Canadian Type B is CS22.2. In America, type B is used very often. And in Japan, it is used much less frequently.

Electrical outlets Type C
Sockets of this type have become widespread in all European countries, with the exception of Great Britain, Ireland, Cyprus and Malta. They also have an international classification – CEE 7/16. There are the following features in the design of sockets. The plug has two pins with a diameter of 4.0-4.8 mm at a distance of 19 mm from the center. Type C sockets have upgrades to the newer types E, F, J, K and L, which are now widely used in Europe. All old type C plugs fit perfectly into the new upgraded sockets and can be connected without an adapter.

Electrical sockets Type D
Sockets of this type are widespread in India, Namibia, Nepal and Sri Lanka. They also have an international designation or BS 546 classification. In fact, this is a modernization of the standard British plug, which was previously used in the metropolis. Some type D sockets can still be found in old houses in Great Britain and Ireland.

Electrical sockets Type E
Sockets of this type are now used mainly in France, Belgium, Poland, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Tunisia and Morocco. They also have the international classification CEE 7/7, type E sockets are slightly different from CEE 7/4, which has become widespread in Germany and in the countries of central Europe. There are the following features in the design of sockets. All Type C plugs fit into Type E sockets and can be connected without an adapter.

Electrical outlets Type F
Sockets of this type are widespread in Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Portugal, Spain and Eastern Europe.
International classification CEE 7/4. They also carry the international designation Schuko. There are the following features in the design of sockets. All type C plugs fit perfectly into type F sockets. The same type is used in Russia with a 4 mm pin diameter and in Europe with a 4.8 mm diameter. This is why Russian plugs fit easily into wider European sockets. But the plugs of European electrical appliances do not fit into Russian sockets. To use European electrical appliances in Russia, a special adapter is often required.

Electrical sockets Type G
Sockets of this type are widespread in the UK, Ireland, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Cyprus and Malta. They also have the international classification BS 1363. There are the following features in the design of sockets. Type G has an external resemblance to type I sockets, however, the angles of inclination of the plug holes are different.

Electrical sockets Type H
Sockets of this type are used in Israel. They are also internationally rated SI 32. The Type C plug is easily compatible with any Type H socket.

Electrical sockets Type I
Sockets of this type are widespread in Australia, China, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and Argentina. They are also internationally classified AS 3112. Electrical sockets and plugs types H and I are not compatible. There are the following features in the design of sockets. Sockets and plugs used by the people of Australia and China fit together. Type G has an external resemblance to type I sockets, however, the angles of inclination of the plug holes are different.

Electrical sockets Type J
Only used in Switzerland and Liechtenstein. International designation – SEC 1011. There are the following features in the design of sockets. With respect to type C, the type J plug has one more pin and the socket has one more hole. However, Type C plugs fit into Type J sockets and can be connected without an adapter.

Electrical sockets Type K
Sockets of this type have become widespread in countries such as Denmark and Greenland. They also have the international classification 107-2-D1. There are the following features in the design of sockets. The Danish standard socket accepts CEE 7/4 and CEE 7/7 plugs as well as type C plugs.

Electrical sockets Type L
Sockets of this type are widespread in Italy and very rarely in North African countries. International classification – CEI 23-16 / BII. There are the following features in the design of sockets. All type C plugs are well compatible with type L sockets and can be connected without an adapter.

Electrical sockets Type M
Sockets of this type are widespread in the countries of South Africa, Swaziland and Lesotho. There are the following features in the design of sockets. Type M has much in common with type D. Almost all type M sockets are well compatible with type D plugs and can be connected without an adapter.

Type N and O outlets are practically not used today.

The following figure shows a schematic map of the use of sockets of various types.

Thus, there are about 15 standard types of sockets in the world. In addition, there may be additional types of sockets designed for high power connected devices. In different countries, norms and rules have been introduced for the use of certain types of sockets for powerful appliances. To solve the problem of compatibility of sockets and plugs of different standards, various adapters or adapters are available.

as does not exist in the world of unified voltage and frequency of electric power , so there is no single standard for electrical sockets and plugs for them. In most countries, the latter developed completely independently of the others, and electrical appliance companies offered their own connectors to the market, which further led to their standardization in specific regions. It is for this reason that plugs and sockets from different countries are for the most part not compatible with each other, and the unspoken rule is the use of adapters, adapters and transformers. This allowed people not only to use imported equipment, but also to use their own outside the country.

Today, there are about 15 different types of plugs and wall sockets used around the world. They come in a variety of shapes, sizes, voltage and current ratings, connector types, and standard names. And basically each type is used in certain regions.

In 1998, the US Department of Commerce assigned each type a Latin letter designation. And although there are several classifications of types of sockets and plugs in the world, it is this classification that is now accepted all over the world. Let’s take a closer look at each of them.

In the US, Canada, Japan, and Central America, two types of household wall outlets are used: ungrounded type A (NEMA 1-15) and grounded type B (NEMA 5-15).

Type A

Type A The is an American non-grounded electrical outlet, invented in 1904 by Harvey Hubbell II. The type is also known as NEMA 1-15 and is rated at 15 A.

This type of plug has two flat blades 1.5 mm thick, 15.9-18.3 mm long and 12.7 mm apart, and is standard in most countries in North and Central America, Japan, and other countries where the voltage is 110 V.

Type A plugs are generally polarized and can only be inserted one way, as their pins are of different widths (7.9 mm and 6.3 mm). In the Japanese version, the pins of the plug are the same size, and devices with a Japanese plug can be used in American outlets, but not vice versa.

Since 1965, ungrounded Type A outlets are no longer allowed in new buildings in the US and Canada, but are still found in older homes in those countries.

Type B

Type B is an American earthed socket. The international designation of the American type B is NEMA 5-15, the Canadian type is CS22. 2, n 42 (CS = Canadian Standard). Maximum current – 15 A.

It differs from type A by the presence of an additional U-shaped grounding contact in the socket and a third plug in the plug.

Type B fork has two 1.5 mm thick flat blades spaced 12.7 mm apart, 15.9-18.3 mm long and 6.3 mm wide. The ground pin is 4.8mm in diameter and 3.2mm longer than the two flat pins, so the device is grounded before power is applied. Type A plugs can be connected to Type B sockets, but not vice versa.

Types A and B plugs are not insulated (i.e. the pin shafts are not black coated to the plug body like types C, G, I, L or N) and the sockets are not recessed into the wall. In practice, this means that if the plug is pulled halfway, its pin is still connected to the outlet. The distance between the socket and the partially removed plug is large enough to allow fingers or a metal object to touch the contacts. For this reason, type A and B sockets are considered unsafe.

Type A and B outlets are powered by 100-127 Volts, all other types except N are powered by 220-240 Volts. And type N operates on a voltage of 100-240 volts.

Type B is commonly used in the same countries as the Type A connector. It is very popular in America, but much less common in Japan. The most famous countries in the world where type A and B sockets and plugs are used are: USA, Canada, Mexico, Bahamas, Dominican Republic, Colombia, Venezuela, Guatemala, El Salvador, Peru, Thailand, Cuba, Taiwan, Philippines and Japan. However, it is important to remember that other standards are also common in some countries.

In the European Union and the countries of the former USSR, a plug and socket of a completely different shape are customary – this is the so-called type C.

Type C

Type C (Europlug) is a European socket without earthing, having two round parallel contacts . It is this type that has long been the most popular in Europe and to this day is found in all European countries, with the exception of Great Britain, Ireland, Cyprus and Malta, and is also common in the countries of the former USSR.

Type also commonly known as Europlug. International designation – CEE 7/16. Designed for maximum current – 3.5A.

Type C receptacles are the old and unearthed version of the new types E, F, J, K, L, N and O now widely used in various European countries. Today, in most countries in new buildings, the standards provide for the installation of sockets with grounding, so type C sockets are no longer installed everywhere, and existing ones are being replaced with types E, F, H, J, K, L, N or O (depending on the country).

However, this applies only to type C sockets, this type of plug continues to be the most widely used internationally.

In general, there are two versions of Type C plugs: 4 mm and 4.8 mm. The first, much more common, has two round contacts with a diameter of 4 mm and a length of 19 mm. The contacts have insulated sleeves 10 mm long. They converge slightly but are relatively flexible, allowing the plug to fit into any receptacle that accepts 4. 0-4.8mm round pins with a 17.5-19 center distance.mm. The plug is generally limited for use in Class II applications requiring 2.5 amps or less.

The second, less used version of the Type C plug (CEE 7/17) has uninsulated contacts with a diameter of 4.8 mm and a length of 19 mm and is rated for 10 A or 16 A. Appliances that do not require earthing, but consume a lot of energy (for example , hair dryers, bathroom heaters, vacuum cleaners, etc.), are almost always equipped with just such a plug.

Type C plugs are still used in almost all European countries, except for the already mentioned Great Britain, Ireland, Malta and Cyprus, as well as in various parts of the world. All Type C plugs will fit perfectly into the new E, F, J, K or L sockets. The Type C plug is rated for 2.5A and is also ideal for Type N and O. The 16A version of the Type C plug is not compatible with N, used in Brazil and South Africa due to the shape of the plug, since the N-type sockets are recessed hexagonal and only fit hexagonal plugs.

Type D

Type D is an obsolete British standard with three round contacts arranged in a triangle, one of which is thicker than the other two. The central ground plug has a diameter of 7.1 mm and a length of 20.6 mm, and two round contacts are made with a diameter of 5.1 mm, a length of 14.9 mm at a distance of 19.1 mm. This socket standard was used in the UK until 1962. And today it is used mainly in India and Nepal, as well as in Namibia, Tanzania, Sri Lanka and in old houses in Great Britain and Ireland.

International designation – BS 546 (BS = British Standard). The maximum current is 5A.

Type D is very similar to type M, but has thinner plugs, so type D plugs can be used in type M sockets, but not vice versa. It should be noted that type M in India and Nepal is used in parallel with type D for more powerful appliances, since it is rated for 15 amperes.

There is also unintended compatibility between type D sockets and European plugs. Thus, type C plugs, although they have pin centers located closer to each other, in comparison with type D plugs (17.5–18.6 mm versus 19.1 mm), but due to the elasticity of their contacts, they often fit into D-type sockets without much difficulty. However, it should be remembered that the pins are inelastic at the base and are also longer than D-type pins, so the C-type plug cannot be fully inserted into the D-type socket. This combination does not always make good contact and may cause sparks in the outlet and short circuit.

A European E/F plug can also be inserted into Type D sockets, however, be aware that such use is absolutely dangerous. The pin centers of Type E and F plugs are slightly closer together than Type D plugs (19mm versus 19.1 mm), but, unlike type C Euro plugs, they do not have flexible pins and must be literally pushed into the socket. This misuse poses a huge security risk for a number of reasons. First – unlike type C – plugs E and F must be grounded, but when they are used with type D sockets, this is not the case. Therefore, in the case of such a combination, we get a sparking socket and a regularly triggered circuit breaker. In addition, Type E and F plugs have longer pins than Type D plugs (19vs. 14.9 mm) and therefore cannot be fully inserted into socket D. This means that the 4.1 mm plugs of E and F plugs will be exposed when connected to the mains, and if a person touches a live contact, you will most likely get an electric shock. This risk does not apply to type C plugs because their pins are insulated.

In general, Type D plugs are considered among the most dangerous in the world because their plugs are not insulated and, if the Type D plug is half pulled out, its pins remain connected to the outlet. Type D sockets are not recessed into the wall, so they also do not provide any protection against contact with current-carrying plugs.

Type E

Type E is a French standard, with a round earth protruding from the top of the socket. The Type E plug has two round pins 4. 8 mm in diameter and 19 mm long, spaced 19 mm apart, and a hole for a ground pin. The grounding pin is 14 mm long and 4.8 mm in diameter.

This type of socket is used in France, Belgium, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Tunisia, Morocco, Cameroon, Syria, Canary Islands and Madagascar.

International designation: plug – CEE 7/6, socket – CEE 7/5. The maximum current is 16 A.

Type E is very similar to type F and differs only in the presence of an earthing pin and in the socket, while the type F socket contains contact plates for earthing.

Type E plugs are now fully compatible with Type F sockets and vice versa, but this has not always been the case. The old F-type plugs did not have a grounding hole for the grounding plug of E-type sockets. To eliminate this difference, a universal Continental European E/F plug was developed, officially called CEE 7/7. It has a female contact to accept the grounding pin of an E-type socket and a top and bottom recess with earthing clamps for connection to an F-type socket.

The original Type E plug, round and without earth clamps, is no longer used.

Type C plugs are also ideal for the Type E socket. And the Type E socket itself is recessed by 15 mm, so that partially inserted plugs do not pose a risk of electric shock.

Type F

Type F , also known as Schuko (from the German schutzkontakt, meaning “protected contact” or “safe contact”), is a European grounded socket designed in 1926 by the German engineer Albert Buttner.

This standard is similar to Type E, but instead of a round ground pin, it uses two metal clips on both sides of the connector. The F-type plug has two round pins 4.8 mm in diameter and 19 mm long, whose centers are spaced 19 mm apart.

International designation: plug – CEE 7/4, socket – CEE 7/3. Maximum current – 16 A.

Type F is used in Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Iceland, Greece, Denmark, Indonesia, Turkey and Eastern European countries: Bulgaria, Croatia, Montenegro, Serbia, North Macedonia, Romania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Hungary, and Georgia. Sockets of this type are also widely used in Ukraine.

The original Type F plugs did not have a grounding hole and were not compatible with Type E sockets.

They were replaced by hybrid E/F plugs (CEE 7/7) fully compatible with both Type F and Type E sockets. Type F is also perfectly compatible with all type C plugs. The F socket is recessed by 15 mm so that partially inserted plugs do not pose a risk of electric shock.

Type G

Type G is a British socket with three flat pins. The plug to it has one rectangular vertical plug and two horizontal ones. The central earth plug measures 4mm x 8mm and is 22.7mm long. The line and neutral contacts measure 4 x 6.35mm and are 17.7mm long, with a 22.2mm center distance.

In addition to the unusual appearance, this type of plug is often supplied with a built-in internal fuse, as British standards allow high current in a household electrical circuit. Small appliances such as mobile phone chargers typically have a 3 amp cartridge fuse inside the plug, while heavy duty appliances have a plug with a 13 amp fuse.

Type G is a modern British socket and plug standard that has replaced Type D and is widely used in electrical appliances. International designation – BS 1363 (BS = British Standard). Maximum current – 32 A.

Type G sockets and plugs began to appear in 1946 and the standard was first published in 1947. By the late 1950s it had replaced the earlier Type D sockets in new UK installations, and by the end of the 1960s most of the country’s installations had been brought up to the new standard.

Besides UK also used in Ireland, Malaysia, Cambodia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malta, Cyprus, Dominica, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Kenya, Kuwait, Nigeria, Oman, Qatar, Tanzania, Uganda, Ghana, Gambia, Grenada, Falkland and Seychelles, Gibraltar and Sri Lanka.

British Standard BS 1363 requires the use of a 3-wire grounding and fused plug for all mains connections. Therefore, class II, non-earthed, two-wire appliances often have a plastic pin that only serves to open the outlet shutters. The absence of such a grounding pin on a Type C plug makes it impossible to connect it to a Type G socket.

Type G sockets are almost always equipped with switches for added safety, and the plugs are insulated to prevent accidental contact with the exposed connector when the plug is partially inserted. British plugs are among the safest in the world, but also among the most unwieldy. Therefore, people sometimes joke about them, saying that the UK plug is often larger than the device to which it is connected.

Type H

Type H is an Israeli socket used only in Israel and the Gaza Strip and marked with the symbols SI32. It has three round contacts, and in the earlier version (before 1989) – flat contacts forming a triangle. The original type H plugs with flat plugs are now obsolete and very rare.

The modern type H plug has three round plugs 4.5 mm in diameter and 19 mm long, also spaced 19 mm apart. And the socket is designed for voltages of 220 V and currents up to 16 A.

Since 1989, hybrid sockets have been produced in the country, suitable for both flat and round plugs, as well as for Type C plugs. 0.3mm smaller than the pin of the E/F plugs. However, if you press hard, these plugs can be inserted into an Israeli outlet. In this case, the device will not be grounded, and it will be extremely difficult to remove the plug from the outlet.

Type H, like Type D, is considered dangerous because the pins of this type of plug are not insulated and remain connected to the outlet even when the plug is half pulled out. And type H sockets are not recessed into the wall and also do not provide any protection against contact with current-carrying contacts.

Type I

Type I is an Australian socket with two flat blades at an angle to each other and a third ground prong.

International designation – AS 3112. Maximum current – 10 A.

Type I plug is mostly rated for 10 amps, has two flat contacts 1. 6 mm thick, placed at an angle of 30 ° C to the vertical. Their centers are 13.7 mm apart, and both pins are 17.3 mm long and 6.3 mm wide. The ground contact measures 6.3 x 1.6 mm and is 20 mm long. There is both a grounded and an ungrounded version of this plug (with only two flat V-prongs). Both versions of the plugs have insulated live and neutral contacts, so even if the plug is not fully inserted into the outlet, touching the exposed part of the pins will not result in electric shock.

There is also a 15 amp plug/receptacle configuration that has a wider ground pin (8mm instead of 6.3mm). A standard 10 amp plug will fit into a 15 amp outlet, while a 15 amp plug will only fit into a 15 amp outlet. There is also a 20 amp plug that has even wider pins. A plug with a lower amperage will always fit into an outlet with a higher amperage, but not vice versa.

Almost all sockets in Australia have a switch for extra safety.

Type I used in Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Argentina and China.

It should be noted that Chinese plugs are 1mm longer and the sockets are installed with the ground contact upwards, while the sockets and plugs used by Australians and Chinese people fit well together. But the Argentine version of Type I, compared to the Chinese and Australian versions, changed polarity.

Type J

Type J is the Swiss standard. The plug is similar to type C, but in addition to two round power contacts, it has an additional grounding contact in the middle and a special diamond shape, and there is another hole in the socket.

Modern type J plugs have three round pins 4 mm in diameter, 19 mm long and insulated sleeves 10 mm long. Whereas older versions of this type were made with sleeveless contacts.

International designation – SEV 1011. Maximum current – 10 A.

The standard is used mainly in Switzerland and Liechtenstein, and is also found in Jordan, Rwanda, Madagascar and the Maldives.

Type C plugs are ideal for type J sockets, but the opposite is not possible due to the third pin. But with the outwardly similar Brazilian type N standard, type J plugs and sockets are not at all compatible. The reason for this is the location of the ground contact, which is closer to the edge with type J and closer to the center line with type N.

Type K

Type K is a Danish socket. It is similar to the popular European Type C socket, but additionally has a central U-shaped hole for a 14mm long, 6.5mm diameter ground pin located at the bottom of the socket. The line and neutral pins of the K-type plug are round and have a length of 19 mm and a diameter of 4.8 mm. These are the so-called “smiling rosettes”, resembling a smiley in their appearance.

Is the basic standard mainly in Denmark, Greenland and the Faroe Islands. It is also found in Guinea, Bangladesh, Senegal, the Maldives and Madagascar.

The Danish standard is described in DS 60884-2-D1. International designation – SRAF 1962/DB. The maximum current is 16 A.

The Danish socket is ideally suited for type C, as well as E and F plugs. However, the latter, when used with type K sockets, are not grounded, which creates a risk of electric shock.

Type L

Type L is an Italian plug and socket. The latter has an additional round ground contact in the center, and the plug is made in the form of three round plugs arranged in one row.

International designation – CEI 23-50. Maximum current 10 A or 16 A.

Mainly used in Italy and Chile, also found in Eritrea, Ethiopia, Libya, Syria, Uruguay and Cuba.

The Italian grounded plug/socket standard includes two types for 10 and 16 amps. Both types consist of three rounded contacts arranged in a straight line, and differ in the diameter of the contacts and the distance between them, and therefore are not compatible with each other.

10 amp version has 4mm pins 19mm longmm, spaced 19 mm apart. The distance between the centers of either of the two outer pins and the center of the ground pin is 9.5mm. The 10 amp L-type socket is also compatible with the C-type plug with slim plugs.

The 16 amp version has contacts 5 mm in diameter and 19 mm long spaced 26 mm apart. The distance between the centers of either of the two outer pins and the center of the ground pin is 13mm.

Since both plugs are symmetrical, they can be inserted in any direction, which means they are not polarized.

Bipasso socket on the left, Schuko-bipasso socket on the right

Two types of universal sockets are now also available:

– the so-called bipasso socket (literally: double-gauge socket), accepting both types of L plug, as well as a C plug ;

is a “Schuko-bipasso” socket, which, in addition to type L and C plugs, is also compatible with type E and F plugs.

Type M

Type M is an African socket and plug with three round prongs in a triangular arrangement, with the earth prong noticeably thicker than the other two. Type M closely resembles the British Type D connector, but has thicker pins. Its central ground plug is 8. 7 mm in diameter and 28.6 mm long. The line and neutral contacts are 7.1 mm in diameter and 18.6 mm long, with a distance between their centers of 25.4 mm.

Receptacle designed to power devices up to 15 A and used in South Africa, Swaziland and Lesotho. Type M is also often used for large devices in countries using type D (notably Bhutan, Botswana, Hong Kong, India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, etc.) and is also found in Singapore and Israel.

The South African version of the M plug often has insulated grommets on the pins to prevent accidental contact with the exposed connector when the plug is partially inserted.

Most Type M sockets are compatible with Type D plugs.

Type N

Type N is a socket and plug that is extremely similar in appearance to the Swiss Type J, but not identical. The slight difference lies in the distance from the central connector to the other two, so the devices are not compatible with each other.

Exclusively used in Brazil and South Africa, which have standardized the Type N socket and plug system to end the proliferation of different types of sockets and plugs within their borders.

Type N is actually based on the 230 V domestic socket system of the international standard IEC 60906-1. This standard was published in 1986 by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and contained a specification for a plug with plugs 4.5 mm in diameter, 19 mm long, also spaced 19mm, and the ground pin is offset by 3 mm. It was planned that this plug would become the new common standard for all of Europe and other regions with a voltage of 230 V. But attempts to adopt the specification as a standard for the EU were unsuccessful, and the Republic of South Africa (SANS 164-2) became the only country to adopt it.

In 1998, Brazil, which had hitherto used a mixture of type C (Europlug) and American NEMA sockets, adopted a modified version of IEC 60906-1 as the national standard NBR 14136. Since then, type N has existed in the country in two versions: for a current of 10 A (127 V) – with a plug diameter of 4 mm, and for a current of 20 A (220 V) – with a plug diameter of 4. 8 mm. Both types also allow the connection of devices with a type C plug (Europlug). The standard is used for both 220V and 127V regions. The transition period to the new standard in the country ended in 2010 and now all electrical appliances and new homes in Brazil must comply with the new standard.

There are thus three N-type plugs and sockets, two of which are used in Brazil (10 A and 20 A) and one in South Africa (16 A). They all have 19 mm long contacts, but different diameters:

– the 10 A version has a plug diameter of 4 mm;

– for 16 A – plug diameter 4.5 mm;

– for 20 A – plug diameter 4.8 mm.

The two outer plugs are mounted 19mm apart and the grounding pin is centered and vertically spaced 3mm apart.

As already mentioned, the N type is very similar to, but not compatible with, the Swiss J type, since the N type has the earth pin closer to the imaginary line connecting the two power pins (3 mm instead of 5 mm). However, Type N receptacles are compatible with Type C plugs. They are specially designed for use with the common 2.5 amp Type C plugs and therefore have the same hex profile.

With modern injection molding technology that did not exist at the time when most other plug types were developed, the Type N standard is considered more compact, reliable and safer than any other plug/socket system in the world.

Type O

Type O is used exclusively in Thailand and is one of the country’s official standards – TIS 166-2549, introduced in 2006.

It should be noted right away that type O sockets today exist only on paper. And all outlets used in the country are hybrid and compatible with Type A, B, C and O plugs. is made according to the dimensions of American sockets and fits standard boxes from the USA.

The power contacts are 19 mm long and the insulated sleeves are 10 mm long and their centers are also 19 mm apart. The ground pin has a length of 21.4 mm, and the center distance between the ground contact and the middle of the power contacts is 11. 9 mm.

Standard 166-2547 (standard 166-2549 is its next version) was first adopted in 2004 and provided sockets compatible with type C and N plugs (IEC 60906-1), but with a grounding pin arrangement similar to type B ( NEMA 5-15). The hybrid socket has been adopted as standard, with plans to phase out compatibility with US plugs as the electrical grid in Thailand operates at 230V.

Although similar in appearance, Type O plugs are not compatible with Israeli Type H plugs and Danish Type K plugs. However, there is a very dangerous compatibility between Type O sockets and Type E/F plugs which, when used with Thai sockets, are not grounded and may result in electric shock. For this reason, in 2008, the Thai government banned the sale of appliances equipped with E/F plugs. And since many Thais still have household appliances equipped with just such plugs, a special adapter was introduced for it.

In conclusion, it should be noted that there is also a so-called “universal socket” in the world, which does not meet any standards, but accepts a number of different types of plugs and is criticized as dangerous.

As you can see, there is no single standard for sockets, plug connectors and electrical networks in the world, and each state chooses its own standards for connecting to electrical networks. Therefore, travelers in order to solve the problem of mismatched plugs and sockets, have to use adapters and adapters. Fortunately, today there are universal devices that are suitable for most of the listed types of outlets with various voltages and frequencies.

Should I take an adapter with me?

There are 12 standards for electrical outlets, some of them are compatible with each other. In Russia, 2 standards are used: C and E, compatible with each other (European standard). Flat C-plugs can be inserted without adapters into sockets of the format: C, E, F, H, J, K, L. They are also difficult and not always inserted into D sockets, and with the help of a life hack they can also be inserted into a G socket.

C-plug with flat base.

Select your country and find out what type of outlet it uses and if you need an adapter. Do not forget that in addition to the shape, the outlet may have a different voltage and current frequency. Make sure that the charger has the inscription: ~100-240V, 50/60Hz. Modern smartphone chargers and most laptops are designed for this mode of operation. There may also be a voltage switch on the device, which must be set accordingly. Otherwise, you risk damaging the device.

G format sockets are the most common “inconvenient” standard for tourists from Russia. However, the voltage in the outlet most often matches and any electrical appliance can be connected through the adapter. If the Adapter is not at hand, then you can insert the plug directly: press the upper hole with a pencil or a plastic object and insert the plug into the unlocked socket. Despite the difference in shape, the distance between the plugs is the same and the plug will hold, although it will not go all the way. The top hole in the socket is the “ground”, pressing it unlocks the shutters of the holes with voltage.

It is strongly not recommended to use this method all the time, buy an adapter as soon as possible.

Basic information about Barcelona. Socket outlets around the world Socket outlets in European hotels

When traveling abroad, tourists sometimes face the problem of a mismatch between the plug and the local electrical outlet. Most often this happens when recharging gadgets, when trying to use a hair dryer or electric razor.

Most hotels in the world have no problem in renting the required adapter for a nominal fee. Often the necessary adapter can be purchased at the nearest store. But if you travel frequently, prefer not to stay at a hotel, or don’t want to leave it to chance, the following information will be useful to you.

To connect household appliances to the mains, two types of electrical voltage and two mains frequencies are used in the world:

• European current of 220-240 V with a frequency of 50 Hz
• US-Japanese at 100-127V at 60Hz.

At the same time, there are no longer 2 or 3, but as many as 15 different types of electrical plugs for household appliances and socket standards. They differ not only in shape, but in the size of the plugs, the absence or presence of grounding.

The diagram shows all 15 types of outlets, they are located in the numbering order adopted by the ITA – US Department of Commerce, in 1998. (Some models are similar in the drawing, but they differ in the size of sockets and plugs.)

There is no need to be afraid because of so many different types of sockets. If you wish, you can buy an adapter in advance and travel with it. There are several types of adapters that will allow you to connect your device to a different type of outlet and there are universal adapters.

Knowing what type of sockets are used in a particular country will help you choose the right adapter, or understand that you do not need it on a given trip.

Cyprus

In all hotels in Cyprus, electrical plugs for household appliances and the corresponding sockets are type G. This is a well-known British system with three rectangular pins – one vertical and two horizontal. How they look can be seen in the photo. If you do not want to spend money on an adapter, you can rent it at the hotel reception, leaving a small deposit. The money will be returned upon departure. Some Russian narrow plugs are inserted into such outlets, so it’s worth a try first (without the use of physical force).

Sockets in Thailand

Thai sockets have either two holes, two pins or two pins with a hole. Accordingly, this is type C (Euro socket), A and B (American sockets with and without grounding). Russian and Ukrainian electrical appliances are connected to type C sockets without any problems. There are also universal hole options (pictured). Refrigerators are usually plugged into flat-prong plug sockets, which is why they are less cluttered in hotels. If you need to charge your phone or laptop, then it is better to find an adapter and use such type A “refrigerator sockets”, and when you need to turn on several devices at once, it is useful to have an extension cord with several sockets, they are inexpensive in Thailand. What kind of sockets in Thailand – you can see in the photo (universal option). However, if you have expensive equipment, it is better to have a ground adapter.

Vietnam socket features

Vietnam socket type varies by region. In South Vietnam – type A (pictured), in North Vietnam – type C (European). In expensive hotels, British G sockets can be found. But everywhere – the usual mains current is 220 V, 50 Hz. There are adapters in hotels, but with a large influx of visitors, they may not be enough for everyone.

India

Common types of sockets in India are C, D and M. Mains current is European. Russian plugs are quite suitable for Indian sockets. There are no problems with euro plugs, but some thin pins may not fit tightly and will have to be fixed somehow, in which case it is better to use adapters. In general, tourists with sockets do not have problems in hotels of any star rating. In the photo – a common example of the type of outlets in hotels in India.

Italy

Most sockets in Italian hotels are type F. There is a grounding bracket inside that does not interfere with inserting most of our domestic plugs. The European type of sockets C and the three-point type L are also common. If the plugs have thick legs or have grounding, like a computer, then you can not do without an adapter. In the photo on the left – type L socket, on the right – type F in Italy. If necessary, adapters are bought in any shop for 1-2 euros, and at the hotel reception they will be issued free of charge.

Sockets in the Dominican Republic and Cuba in hotels. Features of the mains voltage

Sockets in the Dominican Republic in hotels have types A and B – American, with and without grounding. Adapters in hotels are at the reception. But the country’s power supply standards are different: the mains voltage is 110 V, the frequency is 60 Hz. If you plug in a kettle, a razor or an iron for 220 V, they will work at a quarter of the force, and charging will take longer. Transformer adapters are sold, they cost about $ 16, although they do not have much power. Sockets in the Dominican Republic in more modern hotels are suitable for plugs not only of American models, but also of European ones, both with or without grounding. Similarly, the situation with the mains voltage and types of outlets is in Cuba. In modern hotels in Cuba there are even Euro sockets with a voltage of 220 V.

Sockets in Israel

Israel is “famous” for its unusual sockets, which are used only in this country, the voltage standard is European. Type H sockets are designed for a plug with three plugs. In old buildings, old European type C sockets are still preserved. Modern hotels are equipped with sockets where a three-plug input allows you to connect a regular European plug. Chargers and other household appliances turn on without problems, even the old Soviet model.

Sockets in the UAE

Many who have visited this country will give different answers to the question about what sockets are in the UAE and whether an adapter is required. The fact is that three standards coexist there – the widespread type G of the British socket with three flat pins, where an adapter is needed, type C of the usual European one, which does not need an adapter, and type D, which came here from Old England. It is no longer used in Britain, but it is found in India. Many narrow European plugs are stuck into this type, and with plugs of the old Soviet model, you can connect through an adapter. The problem is easily solved on the spot – adapters are available in hotels. The voltage and frequency in the UAE network are the same as ours.

France

Sockets in France are common European type C and type E (pictured), voltage and frequency are standard. Sometimes you need an adapter, as for the old Tefal kettles, but most often a tee and an extension cord are useful, since the socket in the hotel room will be in the singular.

Spain

Sockets in Spain in hotels of types C and F, which meet the European standard. In the photo – type F. Adapter is not needed.

Greece

In Greece, sockets are European standard (type C). In Crete, you may need an adapter – there are sockets with three inputs (D in the photo), so you won’t be able to use them just like that.

Maldives

G, J, K – outlet types in the Maldives. Power supply 230 V, 50 Hz. An adapter is required, but it is better to decide on its type on the spot. Expensive hotels already have the necessary adapters.

G J K

Indonesia

The C and F outlet types are more common and do not require adapters. Less often – British G, then an adapter is needed. The current in the network is 220 V 50 Hz, in Bali – 127 V, there may also be sockets and American type B with grounding.

Mexico

Voltage 127 V, frequency 60 Hz. Types of sockets – North American A and B. Therefore, an adapter is needed. Not everywhere in Mexico hotels offer it for free, so you have to spend a little. It can come in handy on the road – at the airport, on the ferry, cafes, so it’s better to get your own.

Singapore

Types A, C and G are used for video equipment, M for air conditioners and stationary hair dryers; hotels have different adapters. European current.

Sri Lanka

In four-five-star hotels in Sri Lanka, the type of sockets is more often British G, although there are types D and M. Current 230 V, 50 Hz.

Tell a friend

Even 20 years ago we could travel almost light. Now our suitcase is filled with a bunch of electronics, without which a modern tourist simply cannot do. But, when going to another country, you need to understand that not always and not everywhere you can find a native electrical connector for recharging your gadget. Knowing about electrical networks and accepted electrical standards will certainly come in handy on a foreign side.

So. In the world, two types of voltage and frequency are most often found. The first is the American standard 100-127 Volt/60 Hertz, together with plugs A and B. The other standard is the European standard, 220*240 Volt/50 Hertz, plug types C – M.

There are a great many ways to connect to the electrical network , a huge number of types of plugs and sockets, as well as different voltages and frequencies. All this becomes a serious problem for the tourist.
To connect electrical appliances to networks with sockets in the wrong format, various adapters and adapters are used. Some of them can be purchased here in Russia, at the nearest electrical appliances store, or already on the spot, in the host country. When buying an adapter in a Russian store, you need to know the mains voltage, frequency and type of outlet of the country where you are going. We will discuss the types of sockets and voltage in the most popular tourist countries below.

In Russia, the mains voltage is 220 volts, the frequency is 50 hertz. Socket types C and F are used

UK

Mains voltage 230 volts, frequency 50 hertz. Type G sockets, less often D and M. Russian electrical appliances require adapters for all types of English sockets.

Greece

Mains voltage 220 volts, frequency 50 hertz. Type of sockets – European standard (or type C) That is, it would seem that you can safely forget the adapter at home. But in Crete, you will still need an adapter, which can be bought at any local supermarket for only 2 euros. The fact is that sometimes there are sockets with three inputs (type D), respectively, you will not be able to use your electrical appliance directly.

Israel

Mains voltage 230 volts, frequency 50 hertz. Types of sockets C, H, M. Accordingly, an adapter to sockets of type H and M may be required.

India

Mains voltage 230 volts, frequency 50 hertz. The sockets are the same as in Greece of type C and D. That is, if you are lucky and you find yourself in a hotel with European standard sockets (type C), then you don’t have to look for an adapter. But, if the outlet is type D, you will have to run to the reception or the nearest store.

Spain

Mains voltage 230 volts, frequency 50 hertz. Outlet types – C and F. No adapter needed.

Italy

Mains voltage 230 volts, frequency 50 hertz. Most often, euro sockets are installed (type C and F), but a type L socket can also be found, an adapter will be needed for it.

Egypt

Mains voltage 230 volts, frequency 50 hertz. Types of sockets C (as in Russia) and D. An adapter is needed.

Cuba

Mains voltage 110/220 volts, frequency 60 hertz. Types of sockets A, B, C, L, F. It is better to purchase an adapter on the spot, everything will depend on what type of socket will be installed in your hotel.

Mexico

Voltage 127 volts, frequency 60 hertz. Socket types A, B. Adapter required.

Voltage 120 volts, frequency 60 hertz. Types of sockets A, B. You can’t do without an adapter.

Switzerland

Voltage 230 volts, frequency 50 hertz. Types of sockets C and J. And then – how lucky. Perhaps the adapter will not be useful if the hotel will have type C sockets, but be careful: the second type of socket (J) is very similar to our Russian one, however, it will require an adapter.

Japan

Voltage 100 volts, frequency 50/60 hertz. Types of sockets A, B. You can’t do without an adapter.

Turkey, Tunisia, Finland, France, Germany

– afternoon rest, this period lasts from 13:00 to 16:00. At this time, most shops, banks and government offices are closed for a break.

In Spain, there is a law that prohibits smoking in public places, with the exception of specially designated places marked with the sign “ESTÁ PERMITIDO FUMAR”.

According to Spanish law, alcohol is not sold after 22:00.

Spoken languages ​​

Barcelona is bilingual – Spanish and Catalan. Barcelona is the capital of Catalonia, so the Catalan language is widely spoken among the population of Barcelona. However, both Spanish and Catalan are used interchangeably and are widely spoken.

In tourist areas, some will speak not only Spanish but also English. But take a step away from the beaten track and most will only speak Spanish or Catalan.

Barcelona, ​​however, is a very cosmopolitan European city with millions of tourists every year, so you shouldn’t have any difficulty communicating.

Electricity system

The supply voltage in Spain is 220 V and sockets with 2 sockets. Appliances from any European country where 240V is used, such as the United Kingdom and Ireland, will work normally in Spain.

If you plan to use UK standard electrical plugs, you will need to use a 3-socket to 2-socket adapter. To use electrical appliances from the USA, where the supply voltage is 110 V, you will need a step-down transformer up to 110 V. Electrical appliances designed for 110 V can be broken by connecting them to a 220 V socket.

It is recommended to buy electrical adapters at the international airport of departure and not at the electrical shop in Barcelona. In my experience, adapters bought in Spain are of poor build quality and tend to fall apart when unplugged. It’s much better to buy adapters at your airport, even if they cost a couple of pounds/euros/dollars more.

Water supply

Drinking water in Barcelona tastes very bad and bottled water is highly recommended. Although tap water is not dangerous, it is preferable to drink bottled water. Inexpensive mineral water is sold in local supermarkets, such as the supermarket on the Ramblas.

If you buy mineral water from the stalls on the Ramblas, it may cost you €2.00 per litre, but the same bottle in the supermarket will cost €0.50 (half a euro).

ID card

Spanish law requires you to carry a photo ID at all times. This can be a passport, driver’s license or foreign identity card. With security tightening in the city, it is highly recommended to carry at least a copy of your passport in case you get stopped.

Phone calls

From abroad you can call Barcelona by first dialing the Spanish code +34
followed by Barcelona code 93
.

Cheapest international calls

The cheapest international calls come from a card that you can buy in stores called “Tabac”. You can also buy these cards at Internet cafes and some magazine kiosks.

You will first need to call a local or toll free number. Then you need to select the language in which you want to listen to the instructions, enter the pin code indicated on the card, and then dial the international number.

Cards should be chosen carefully because some of them allow you to make cheap calls only to certain countries.

For calls to the US and European countries, I liked the Euro Talk Card.
This card costs €5.00 and is valid for 3 hours of calls to any city in the US, Canada or Europe via a toll-free number.

The Euro Talk Card is the best value for your money, but you can’t buy it in stores Tabacs. You may find another card with similar conditions.

Dress code

Dress code in Barcelona is free. Jeans and T-shirts are par for the course, and in simple attire, you’ll be let into almost all establishments, except for very exclusive restaurants. The only exception is sleeveless shirts, in which you might have trouble getting into bars or clubs. Some expensive nightclubs are only allowed in shoes (no sweatpants), and sleeveless shirts are also not allowed.

Money/Currency

Like all over Spain, the euro is in circulation in Barcelona.

Comparison of the population of Barcelona with other cities in Spain

If you want to compare the population of Barcelona with other cities in Spain, I can recommend you a page on the excellent tourist website Spanish-fiestas.com.

• The Portuguese are a non-confrontational and sociable people. There is no need to be shy or take a hostile attitude towards their friendliness – this will only ruin the experience. You can turn to any resident for help, he will definitely listen. The Portuguese are very pleased when tourists try to speak their language, but sign language is enough.

Clothes

• It is important to choose the right shoes, especially for women. In many Portuguese cities, the terrain and paving stones on the sidewalks will turn walking in heels into a real torment. Therefore, it is worth taking care of comfortable sneakers or sneakers.

Food

• The Portuguese are very punctual when it comes to food, so restaurants are open only for lunch, from about 12:00 to 15:00 and dinner, from about 19:00 to 23:00. Some close even earlier. From morning to evening, only cafes are open, where it is not very customary to eat up and fast foods.
• The surest way to find a good restaurant is to pay attention to where the locals dine. As a rule, tasty and inexpensive food is served in establishments with a simple, sometimes even boring interior. Such restaurants, by the way, are almost always full.
• An excellent option for an economical lunch is the set menu, which in Portuguese restaurants is simply called menu. There is usually a choice between meat and fish, with a drink included with lunch. In good establishments, the menu varies from day to day.
• Starting snacks such as bread, different types of olives or cheese are not a compliment, as in many countries. You will have to pay for them, and sometimes as much as for the main course. To refuse snacks, you can say: “naw, obrigado” (if a man speaks) or “naw, obrigada” (if a woman speaks), which translates as “no, thanks.”

• Portions in Portuguese restaurants are quite large, so the main course can almost always be safely shared between two.
• Feel free to order homemade wine in restaurants – it is of excellent quality and cheaper than branded wine. Wine is brought in a decanter and sometimes in a bottle.
• Anything you order can be wrapped to go. This is not unusual, the “take away” system is very common in Portugal, including among the locals.

• Some toilets in Portugal are marked in an unusual way: the letter H for the men’s toilet and the letter S for the women’s. There are a lot of free toilets, for example, in train stations and in supermarkets. You can go to any cafe, but it is considered good form to order something.

Electricity

• Mains voltage 230 V, 50 Hz. Sockets in Portugal type C and F.

Electrical plugs and connectors – types and differences

Edited: 09/10/2021

Wires and cables are part of our life. There are many types of cords available on the market. They help keep our devices connected and connect us to the internet.
There are standards set for all devices that use or produce electricity or contain electronics, such as international IEC and NEMA standards. An IEC connector is the generic name for a set of thirteen power line connectors. They are defined by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) specification IEC 60320, and these IEC connectors are widely used for power connections of electrical and electronic equipment, such as in power outlet blocks installed in telecommunications cabinets.

IEC connectors

NEMA connectors are almost non-existent, unlike IEC. A total of thirteen different types of IEC power connectors are defined. IEC power connectors include 2-wire, 3-wire, and multi-current options to connect power to a variety of electrical and electronic equipment. In accordance with these standards, there are various power cables, such as, for example, the IEC C13 or IEC C19 power cord., all of them are produced and used for various purposes.

Electrical plugs

In addition, different countries have different electrical plugs with sockets and power standards. So next, we’ll showcase the different types of plug standards that plug cords into and turn on your devices. If the type of plug and socket is incompatible, special adapters or adapters must be used.

Type A

The Type A electrical plug is an ungrounded plug with two flat parallel pins. You can see them mostly in America and Japan. American and Japanese plugs look the same, but the neutral pin on an American plug is wider than the live pin, whereas on a Japanese plug, both pins are the same size.

This means you can use Japanese plugs in the US, but not vice versa. Other countries that use this type of plug are Canada, Mexico and Japan.

Its voltage range is 100 to 127 V.

Type A plugs have a hole near the tip that fits some sockets. This helps the pins hold the socket securely, preventing the plug from coming out.

Type B

Type B electrical plug has two flat parallel prongs and a round grounding prong for grounding. The ground pin is longer than the other two, so the device remains grounded as long as it is connected to a power source.

Like Type A plugs, the American and Japanese versions are slightly different. They are mainly used in the USA, Canada, Mexico and Japan. Its voltage range is mainly from 100V to 127V and they are rated for 15 amps.

Type C

Type C electrical plug also known as Europlug. This is a two-wire plug with two round pins. It fits any socket with a 4.0mm to 4.8mm round pin and 19mm in the center. Mainly used in Asia, South America, Russia and Europe (excluding UK, Ireland, Cyprus and Malta).

Its voltage ranges from 220V to 240V and requires 2.5A or less.

Type D

The Type D plug has three large round triangular pins. In some cases, type M plugs are used in addition to type D plugs in larger appliances. As a result, there are outlets that work with both D and M plugs.

It is mainly used in India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, etc. Voltage range: 220 to 240 V, rated current 5 amps.

Type E

Type E electrical plug has two 4.8 mm diameter round pins spaced 19 mm apart and a hole for the socket ground pin.

The Type E plug is round and the Type E socket has a round notch. The plugs are rated for 16 amps and are used in France, Belgium, Slovakia, Tunisia, etc.

Type F

Type F electric plugs have two 4.8 mm round pins spaced 19mm apart. They are similar to type E but have two earth clamps instead of a ground contact.

CEE 7/7 plug works with sockets E and F and has earth terminals on both sides. Countries where they are used: Germany, Austria, Netherlands, Spain, etc. Type F plugs are rated at 16 amps.

Type G

Type G electrical plug has three rectangular triangular pins and a built-in fuse. The ground pin is 8 mm long and 22.7 mm long. While the line and neutral pins are 4 by 6.35mm and 17.7mm long. Countries where they are used: UK, Ireland, Cyprus, Malta. Malaysia etc. Voltage range: 220-240V.

Type H

This type of plug is unique in Israel and has two V-shaped flat pins and even a ground pin. It has now been replaced by a round pin version. The holes in Type H receptacles are wide in the middle, so they can also accept Type C plugs. The Type H rating is 16 amps and the voltage range is 220 to 240V.

Type I

ground pin. Another version of this plug has two flat pins. An Australian plug may be useful with outlets in China. The standard Australian plug/socket is rated at 10 amps. A standard 10 amp plug will fit into a 15 amp outlet. But you can’t use them the other way around. This option is used in Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, China, etc., and has a voltage range of 220V to 240V.

Type J

This type J plug has two round pins and one earth pin. Although the J-type plug is similar to the Brazilian N-type plug, it is not compatible with the N-type socket because the grounding prong is far from the center line compared to the N-type plug. 10 amps and can be used in Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Rwanda.

Type K

It has two round contacts and an earth contact. It is similar to type F. The only difference is that type F has earth clamps instead of earth contacts.

The countries where they are used are Denmark and Greenland.

Type L

Available in two versions: 10 amps and 16 amps. The 10A version has two 4mm thick round pins spaced 5.5mm apart and a ground pin in the middle.

Whereas the 16A version has two 5mm thick round contacts 8mm apart and even has a ground contact.

It can be used in Italy and its voltage range is from 220 V to 240 V.

Type M

It has three round pins in a triangular pattern and is similar to type D. But its pins are larger. They are useful for large equipment in countries where type D plugs are used and can be used in countries such as Israel, South Africa and have a voltage range of 220V to 240V.

Type N

Type N plugs come in two types : one is rated for 10 amps and the other is rated for 20 amps.

The 10 A version has two 4 mm thick round contacts and an earth contact. While the 20A version is useful for heavier fixtures and has two 4.8mm round pins and a ground pin.

They are used in Brazil and have a voltage of 100 to 240 V.

Type O

This type is widely used in Thailand and has a voltage range of 220 V to 240 V. It is compatible with type C sockets.

Conclusion

Having so many different types of plugs and connectors can be confusing.
