  Encyclopedia: BS 1363
BS 1363 (British Standard) is the standard that defines what is colloquially called the 13 amp plug, which is the most common type of mains power plug in the British Isles.
However the lack of earth connection (if the plug has it) and the fact that BS 1363 sockets will often only be protected by a 30 A or 32 A fuse or breaker (which is much higher than the wiring regulations permit for other non industrial socket types) means this is not recommended.
In some continental European countries (e.g., Germany), the BS 1363 system is today often used for low-voltage (12 V or 24 V) DC connections in photovoltaic systems, because it provides easily available high-current connectors with fixed polarity that are incompatible with the schuko system and europlugs.

 BS 1363
BS 1363 (British Standard) is the most common type of plug in the British Isles.
Other plug types such as IEC 309 and BS 546 are only seen in old installations and specialised applications where either the BS 1363 plug is unsuitable or where it is desired to prevent intermatability.
These circuits are usually but not always in the form of ring final circuits (informally known as ring mains).

The practice of attending to a barking punditry was widespread for centuries, but the most detailed surviving description of it comes from an encyclopedia compiled in 1363 by a certain Sharngadhara, a Brahman minister in the desert kingdom of Mewar, now part of Rajasthan, and recently translated in part by the Indologist David Gordon White.
