The British Standard Switch provides a way to protect socket-outlets that contain electronic components. It protects the appliance from overloading and protects the flexible cord from damage. In addition to protecting the appliance, the sockets are also protected by a residual current device.
Sockets are required to have shutters over the line and neutral contacts. This prevents the use of a two-pin plug in a three-pin socket. Special converters are available that enable non-earthed Europlugs to be operated in outlets. These converters have a three-amp fuse and a hinged lid that can be closed.
A British Standard Switch is a type of plug that conforms to the standard for switches and sockets. They are generally non-fused and come with three pins. The pins are arranged in a triangular orientation, which results in a polarized plug. Because of this, they are compatible only with sockets of the same rating. In addition, the proximal half of the line pin and the neutral pin are insulated, which is important for safety. Typically, plugs are not fused, although some are.
The British Standard Switch is a standard of electrical connection. It has a wide range of uses in both the home and office and is widely used around the world. Its features include increased touch protection and screw terminals. It also features a two-pin, 13-A rating and a voltage of 250 V.
This type of electrical switch is installed in ceilings and walls. It has two types of pins: line and neutral. The line pin is longer and is installed in a ceiling or wall. The neutral pin is installed in a wall. It is available in galvanized steel and is designed for installation in masonry walls. The pins have a diameter of 20mm or 25mm, depending on the type.
The British Standard Switch is an electrical socket that follows British standards and has a square shape. It has two pins: line and neutral. Their centres are 22.2 mm apart. The protective earth pin is 22.3 mm from the line/neutral pin center line. In the past, plug pin dimensions were specified in decimal inches.
There are several types of British Standard switches. There are 3X3 and 3X6 versions. In addition, African countries prefer to have integrated switches. Typically, a kitchen control unit will contain a 20A or 45A DP switch and a 13A British Standard socket. Other types of switches include speed/dimmer switches and rotary switches. These types of switches are used in light fixtures and control the brightness of lamps and fans.
