American standard features: there is a cylindrical hole at the ground wire.
The ground wire of American standard socket has a cylindrical hole, not a gap in China. The live wire and the neutral wire are composed of two parallel plugs respectively. Instead of making an angle of 120 degrees with each other like the three plugs in China.
The wiring mode of the socket is different from the China standard. Please ask a professional electrician to wire it, instead of wiring it yourself. The PE line of genuine American standard socket is located at the bottom, and the PE line of Chinese American standard socket is located at the top (as shown in the figure). American American Standard (inverted font, contrary to China version) also follows the principle of "left zero and right fire".
Speaking of American standard sockets, everyone must think that they are used in America. We don't need to know that American standard sockets can actually be used in China. Today, I will popularize some knowledge of American standard sockets for you.
About American standard sockets, ordinary consumers generally have several questions:
First, the plugs of American standard sockets are different from those of domestic sockets. Can they be used in China?
American standard sockets can be used in China, but only two plugs can be inserted. The plug can be inserted into a multifunctional socket. The ground wire of the American plug is round, while that of our country is flat. The live line and the zero line are parallel in the United States, and our country is flat. Look at your laptop plug.
Secondly, the American standard socket is 250V, but the American standard voltage is110 V. Is there a problem between the two?
Socket 250V refers to its withstand voltage standard, below which it can be used safely.
Third, do China's electrical appliances need to convert voltage before charging in the United States?
The power supply standard in the United States is 120V, and it is 220V in China, so it needs to be converted before use (domestic wide power supply products can be used directly, and the minimum applicable voltage is 100V).
In fact, American standard socket is a kind of high-quality socket with higher quality requirements, which is different from national standard socket. American electrical standards require that the socket itself has overload protection and lightning protection functions.
The ground wire of American standard socket has a cylindrical hole, which is not for domestic gap. The live wire and the neutral wire are composed of two parallel plugs respectively. Instead of the angle between two plugs being 120 degrees like the domestic three plugs. The wiring mode of the socket is different from the China standard. Please ask a professional electrician to wire it, instead of wiring it yourself. At present, Wei Lan Electronics, which has established trade relations with North America, is a manufacturer of American standard sockets and enjoys a high reputation in the industry.
Different standard voltages in different countries lead to different socket designs. It is best to know the socket standard of the destination in advance when traveling and living abroad, and bring the socket converter to avoid a series of unnecessary life troubles.
American standard socket is of high quality, and it is still very good as a socket with two plugs. You can try one if you are interested. It's really good.
