and establishes protective-earth connection through the earth clips (2) before the line and neutral pins (3) establish contact, thereby preventing users from touching connected pin
doesn't make any sense. How does an earth connection prevent a user from touching a connected pin? Ariel. ( talk) 05:09, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
Can you give us a list of countries that converted to using the Schuko system of plugs and sockets, and why they did that? For example, what of Italy? Or what about Denmark, the country that is planning to allow the installation of French style Schuko socket (with the pin sticking out the socket groove?) Yes, do mention country where Schuko's now used but not until recently. Thanks.
The article mentions that in parts of the country "Schuko was commonly installed until the 1960's". But did it cease being an official standard and if so when ? Ive seen them mentioned in an ESB leaflet during the 1980's (where they were termed "side-earth") but they were an extremely rare sight by then. Much more common in Ireland are Swiss SEV type fuseboxes (rather the UK style cartridge fuses) but since the mid-1980's there has been a trend away from these in favour of tripswitch based consumer units 2.123.240.251 ( talk) 14:59, 17 January 2016 (UTC).
The relationship between 220 and 127 volts is that the 220 volts is the phase to phase, or delta voltage, while 127 is phase to neutral / near earth potential. Norway often still uses a system where the 2 pins on these plugs are both phases, not line and neutral. JulianL JulianL ( talk) 13:36, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
The article in several places refers to "French" plugs and sockets but according to the museum of plugs and sockets website this variant originated in Belgium. If this is indeed the case the article should stop referring to them as French ? 84.247.43.249 ( talk) 10:26, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
