The prominence of electrical systems in modern times is immense. These electrical systems have gone above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that technology takes precedence in modern times. Without the proper devices to take care of these modern forms of technology, it’s only a matter of time before this technology implodes and fails to function as it should.
This makes it the need of the hour to maintain optimal electrical systems that can ensure a sustained flow of electricity in industries and homes. Only by doing so can one utilise these electrical systems without worrying about the potential ramifications that can arise as a result.
This is where various electrical devices come into play (such as light switches and miniature circuit breaker), that can help accomplish the goal of optimal electricity management, while also seeing to it that any problems that might arise as a result can be negated to a certain extent.
One such device – that is the main focus of this article – that help propagate the goal of securing and connecting electrical systems across the globe are electrical sockets. In the simplest of terms, these sockets are an outlet where electrical appliances can be plugged in to complete a circuit and channel electricity to the product in question.
While it might seem like an incredibly basic form of technology at first sight, electrical sockets have actually proven to be an extremely useful and universal tool that has helped immensely in the completion of circuits and the propagation of electrical flow to various devices and machines.
In India, power plugs and sockets are of three types – C, D, and M. The standard voltage in these plugs is 230 V and the standard frequency is around 50 Hz.
- Type C: This type of plug is also known as the standard “Euro” plug. It’s a socket that also works with Type E and Type F.
- Type D: It’s a kind of socket that’s mainly used in India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and some African countries as well. This socket only works with Type D.
- Type M: While this socket might look like Type D, it actually sports larger pins. This socket only works with Type M.
Thus, electrical sockets are an integral aspect of any electrical system that ensures the proper running of said system at all times without fail.
