British ones.









No really, I don't think anywhere else uses the british standard ones. All of them have three pins earth(unlike some others), live and neutral, they have fuses in them (unlike others too).

also worth noting that the voltage is different to US (not sure about canada), we have 240v output, don't plug it into any american electronic device, or it wont work ever again

they look like this

That is different than other Countries like Holland, Italy, Poland,
isn't it? The voltage is the same 220, but plug looks different.

Yes it is different. Most other European countries use the 2 pin plugs.

And the voltage would be the same if we didn't use 240

uk voltage is 230v now, not 240

half correct. most of europe is 230v, and they wanted to bring us in line with them. so what we did is lowered the "official voltage" from 240v to 230v, but then added a tolerance of 10% +/-. so while the official statement is its 230, the tolerance allows us to still run 240. so if u put a digital multimeter onto our socket, it'll be 240v.

It does vary more than you'd think as well I had to monitor it for a work project (not manually like, using a fancy meter).



Frequency is actually more strictly legislated for miss a cycle and it'll need to be worked back, think it has to do with keeping things that use it for timing right or something.

legend, now that is geeky. I'm hoping someone will write a small thesis in response to that. I may actually learn something on here

I was thinking that too, taking it too far and all that.

im an electrician.
i measure voltage pretty much every other day.

it varies between 230 and 240. ive seen it as high as 250 before. and as low as 220.

theres no set rule really.
