Electric forks

Electric forks

The electric fork , which is also called the plug, is designed to connect the electricity consumer to the supply network. Product contacts have the shape of elongated pins of the round or rectangular section. An electric fork can be recorded directly on the device case or connect with it using a flexible cable.

Requirements for product characteristics

Reliable contact in the range of working characteristics. Poor electrical contact leads to the heating of the fork and electricity loss. High -quality isolation of live elements from the external environment and from each other. Protecting a person from electrical underwear in case of accidental touching both with a turn turned off and with incorrect connection. Protection against connection error, for example, the inability to insert only one pin into the socket. Fire safety, execution of non -combustible materials.

Types of electric sockets

There are several classifications and dozens of models of plug outlets, and in different countries the design of these products can vary greatly. Conditionally, you can divide all the variety into three groups:

Type A. Double -pin models without grounding. The current -bore consists of flat parallel contacts. The width of the pins is 6.35 mm, the thickness is 1.524 mm, the distance between them is 12.7 mm. Release type A forks with a polarized connector. The width of neutral contact in such products is 1.588 mm. Connectors with flat piners are used mainly in the USA in networks with a voltage of 100–127 V; Type B. The structure of this type is supplemented by the third contact of the round or U-shaped section. An additional pin is responsible for grounding. Table V forks are designed for a voltage of 100–127 V; Type C. The group includes electric forks of several modifications. The total feature is two round contacts with a length of 19 mm and with a diameter of 4.0 or 4.8 mm. The distance between the pins is 19 mm. Products are designed to work on a network with a voltage of 220–250 V and are used to power electrical equipment that does not require grounding.

There are also electric forks of types E, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, but in Russia they are rare. Models of type D and I are practically disabled from circulation.
