	Domestic AC power plugs & sockets - Article from FactBug.org - the fast Wikipedia mirror site
		Plug F, known as CEE 7/4 and commonly called a "Schuko plug", is like E except that it has two earthing clips on the sides of the plug instead of a female earth contact.
		The plug is rated at 16 A. Above that, equipment must either be wired permanently to the mains or connected via another higher power connector such as the IEC 309 system.
		The fuse in the plug is chosen to match the current taken by the appliance, from 3 A to 13 A. BS 1363 was published in 1962 and since that time it has gradually replaced the earlier standard plugs and sockets (type D) (BS 546).

		A power socket (electrical socket, power point, mains socket, plug-in, outlet, receptacle, or female power connector) is a connection point that delivers mains electricity when a plug is inserted into it.
		The plug itself is similar to C except that it is round and has the addition of a female contact to accept the grounding pin in the socket.
		Plug F, known as CEE 7/4 and commonly called "Schuko plug", is similar to C except that it is round and has the addition of two grounding clips on the side of the plug.

		CEE 7/7 plug and socket Domestic AC power plugs and sockets allow a connection between the mains electricity (household, usually single-phase, AC electrical power) and the appliances commonly used in homes.
		A power connector is an electrical connector designed to carry a significant amount of electrical power, usually as DC or low-frequency AC.
		DC plug is a common name used for one common type of cylindrical two-conductor plug available in a range of sizes and used to power small pieces of electronic equipment.

		The main danger that can be posed by the neutral is it has a non-null voltage (possibly as high as the voltage on the mains live) after a broken neutral cable in the wiring.
		When attaching a plug to a cord, it is useful to remember that the most common type of two-conductor cord for low-power use in North America has smooth insulation on the "hot" side and ribbed insulation on the "neutral" side.
		Plug F, known as CEE7/4 and commonly called a "Schuko plug", is like E except that it has two earthing clips on the sides of the plug instead of a female earth contact.

		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 mateability with the standard variety is not desired.
		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.
		These plugs have a plastic earth pin and a fuse accessible from the outside and in some cases are fitted with screws that are made to be difficult to unscrew.

	IDC Plugs - Standards
		The standard, Class 1 grounded mains plug used in Germany, Australia, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway and Finland is known as CEE 7/4 (also known as "Shuko") It has two 4.8mm round contacts on 19mm centres and two grounding clips on the sides of the connector body.
		The standard 2-wire plug used in Class II, ungrounded, applications is popularly known as the Europlug which is described in CEE 7/16.
		This plug is generally limited for use in Class II applications that require 2.5 amps or less.

	Mains : search word
		Type F [[Mains power plug and socket]] The term mains usually refers to the general purpose AC electrical power supply (as in "I've connected the appliance to the mains").
		A close synonym to "mains" in Canadian provinces that use hydroelectric power would be "hydro".
		In Japan, the electrical power supply to households is at 100 V. Eastern and northern parts of Honshu (including Tokyo) as well as Hokkaido have a frequency of 50 Hz, whereas western Honshu (including Nagoya, Osaka, and Hiroshima), Shikoku, Kyushu and Okinawa operate at 60 Hz.

		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 mateability with the standard variety is not desired.
		The plug base is broadened near the pins to help keep fingers away from the pins (this was a very early modification to the standard, which was later improved by the use of the insulated pin bases described above).
		The plug sides are shaped to improve grip and make it easier to remove the plug from a socket without placing fingers behind the plug where the pins are.

	Domestic AC power plugs and sockets - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Power sockets are female electrical connectors that have slots or holes which accept the pins or blades of power plugs inserted into them and deliver electricity to the plugs.
		In most countries, household power is single-phase electric power, in which a single live conductor brings alternating current into a house, and a neutral returns it to the power supply.
		The plug is rated at 16 A. Above that, equipment must either be wired permanently to the mains or connected via another higher power connector such as the IEC 309 system.

	PowerPedia:Alternating current - PESWiki
		In a power plant, power is generated at a convenient voltage for the design of a generator, and then stepped up to a high voltage for transmission.
		Small power tools and lighting are supposed to be supplied by a local center-tapped transformer with a voltage of 55V between each power conductor and the earth.
		Litz wire is used for making high Q inductors, reducing losses in flexible conductors carrying very high currents at power frequencies, and in the windings of devices carrying higher radio frequency current (up to hundreds of kilohertz), such as switch-mode power supplies and radio frequency transformers.

	Australian mains power plug 75 years old
		Under the Australian Standard AS/NZS 3112:2000 the active and neutral pins on power plugs and plug-packs must be insulated.
		The Australian plug design was introduced around 1930 at the time when electricity generally became available to homes.
		Apparently it was copied from the design of an American plug that no longer exists, although it still survives in Argentina where different wiring polarity is used and China which mounts it with the earth pin on top.

		The parallel filter will be seen by the mains distortions as a short-circuit, and due to this fact, it will be reflected to the source.

	6. Mains Noise and Harmonics
		Mains noise and harmonics have an insidious degrading effect on the sound of a Hi-Fi system (or indeed the sound and picture quality in a Home Theatre system).
		They are another of those mains problems that vary widely from time to time during the day, causing your Hi-Fi to sound better at some times than it does at others.
		In addition, conditioners designed to clean the power passing though them actually degrade the sound by further increasing the dynamic impedance of the mains power.

		Electric power, often known as power or electricity, involves the production and delivery of electrical energy in sufficient quantities to operate domestic appliances, office equipment, industrial machinery and provide sufficient energy for both domestic and commercial lighting, heating, cooking and industrial processes.
		With Tesla and his patents, Westinghouse built a power system for a gold mine in Telluride, Colorado in 1891, with a water driven 100 horsepower (75 kW) generator powering a 100 horsepower (75 kW) motor over a 2.5-mile (4 km) power line.
