Anyone who has traveled to the United Kingdom has probably marveled at the imperial bulk of the standard U.K. wall plug. With three chunky, rectangular pins, the design at first glance seems almost ridiculously inefficient, especially compared to the svelte footprints of the U.S. and European wall plugs, which manage to get juice to your electronics in under half the space.
The main thing to know about the U.K. wall plug is that while it is bulkier than other designs, every ounce of that additional bulk makes the design safer. This is accomplished in four main ways:
• Prong Design: Like standard U.S. grounded plugs, the U.K. wall plug has three prongs. But the design of these prongs makes it nearly impossible for you to shock yourself accidentally. Unlike in U.S. plugs, half of each prong is coated in insulation. Because of this, even if a plug is not fully inserted into a socket, touching the exposed part of the prongs can't give you a shock.
• Socket Design: Any kid with a fork or a screwdriver can light his hair on fire in the United States by jamming it into a wall socket. Not so in England, where it would take at least two screwdrivers to manage the same calamitous trick. The U.K. plug is designed so that the grounding prong is slightly longer than the prongs responsible for transferring current. Like a tumbler in a lock, this grounding prong is responsible for "unlocking" the socket, giving access to the more dangerous live and neutral terminals.
• Built-In Fuses: During World War II, a copper shortage resulted in the British government putting fuses into every plug, instead of wiring them directly. Although the built-in fuse adds bulk to the U.K. plug design, it's also safer: In case of an unexpected electrical surge, the fuse simply blows and the electricity shuts off, preventing fires, electrocutions, and other accidents. It also makes U.K. plugs easier to fix.

I agree with mexibro.

Just look at that happy outlet

what's it like being poor
Schuko is objectively the best
>>56796792
It's designed to make you feel guilty about using power. Every you plug something you have to penetrate that cute little face through both the eyes and mouth. And then you can sit and feel guilty until you free the little guy from your violation
>>56796616
Oh shit, he called it

Looks like we won again.

hahahahahaha

Because your moms vagina is.

>It also makes U.K. plugs easier to fix.
Why would adding complexity make it easier to fix?
LOL, in America their plugs can actually get bent out of shape, hahahahahahahahahaha
Britplug stonk!

schuko is love, schuko is life
Are ruskies even grounded?
>>56796448
Happy Denmark for sure :3
>>56796448
Swiss one smiles to me
>>56799454
Not even all Swedish homes are grounded.
Denmark
There are both german and russian in my home
>>56796448
The American plug design is functional, but 110v 10-15A (60hz) is a shit voltage.
>>56796448
WHAT THE FUCK?
THERE ARE DIFFERENT PLUGS????
WHY DON'T WE ALL USE THE SAME KIND?
Ours is cheap to make, compatible with euros, doesn't destroy your feet, grounded, half insulated. What do you want more?
>>56799881

only the shit ones
why is BR copying switzerland?

kek'd a bit, my northern neighbour
Can American ones fit into the Japanesr on and vise virsa?
>>56797099
>fuseboxes
You still have them? Circuit breakers are far superior
>>56800177
Fit, and function are two different things.
>>56797055
>>56799989
That image is wrong. Our plugs are very similar however they're incompatible because earth/ground in our plugs is a bit further away than yours.
>>56800229
You call the box with the circuit breakers the fusebox my autist friend.
>>56800260
Just flip the thing then. It'd work the same as long as metal touches metal.
>110v

>The voltage in Japan is 100 Volt, which is different from North America (120V), Japanese electrical plugs have two, non-polarized pins, as shown above. They fit into North American outlets.
>Some North American equipment will work fine in Japan without an adapter and vice versa, however, certain equipment, especially equipment involving heating (e.g. hair dryers), may not work properly or even get damaged.
>The frequency of electric current is 50 Hertz in Eastern Japan and 60 Hertz in Western Japan
>>56796448
The best are the ones that look the most like faces
>>56796448
In theory the British one is the best, but it's too complex, to bulky and to expensive to make. And also it's a pain in the ass to plug in. (in the socket i mean, although it's probably also painful to plug into your ass)
IRL I would way it's the EU/Germany variation, which is the one you'll see in most of Europe today...

>>56796448
Design-wise, Japan all the way.
These two expressionless eyes can fit into any kind of wall paint.
Think of the possibilities, eyes, headphones, alien vagina, it can even look like a toaster from an areal view!
Meanwhile the British one looks like a retarded finn eating tuna but failing miserably.
China and aus one looks like the inhabitants of said countries,
and the rest look like shit. Look at the EU, what fun can you have with them? None!
It compels you to insert a screwdriver in them so you can be released from the suffering of having something so useless on your wall.
