Sockets in other countries cannot be used to charge portable electronic products, and a socket converter is required. Next, the editor will tell you how to distinguish British sockets and the selection skills of British sockets.
1. How to distinguish British sockets
First, check whether the socket is marked with MAX or the largest word. Our government stipulates that all British socket panels sold in the country need to be marked with MAX or the largest word. This point is very easy to distinguish. You only need to open the package and turn the socket over to take a look, so I won’t go into details here.
Second, see if there is a condom. In order to make it safer for users to use sockets, the neutral pins and live pins of British standard sockets are covered with rubber. If not, it may not be genuine. This also requires special attention.
Third, look at the appearance and shape of the jack. Domestic common socket jacks (taking three-phase jacks as an example) are all flat slit type. The live wire, neutral wire, and ground wire jacks are arranged in characters, and the left one is the live wire, the right one is the neutral wire, and the upper one is the ground wire. Wire. The socket of the British standard socket has a square pin, with the neutral wire on the right, the live wire on the left, and the ground wire in the middle.
2. Tips for selecting British sockets
First, start with the appearance
No matter what standard socket, inferior sockets are different, high-quality sockets The socket characteristics are relatively uniform. For example, the surface is smooth, the thickness of the insulation layer is uniform, the hand feels good, and it is not rough.
Second, start with the internal structure
As a conductive product, the inner copper sheet plays the most important role in the process of energizing the socket. Since the most conductive metal is silver, high-quality British standard sockets are made of silver-nickel-copper composite materials.
Third, start with safety
Electrical safety is an aspect that we should never take lightly when using sockets. When purchasing British standard sockets, you should pay special attention to this point. The current national socket standards indicate that qualified sockets need to have protective doors. Therefore, when choosing a British standard socket, you need to check whether it has a protective door.
