 Domestic AC power plugs and sockets - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The plug is rated at 16 A. Above that, equipment must either be wired permanently to the mains or connected via another higher power connector such as the IEC 309 system.
Domestic AC power plugs and sockets allow a connection between the mains electricity (household, usually single-phase, AC electrical power) and the appliances commonly used in homes.
A variation of this plug intended for use only on surge protected computer circuits has been introduced.

 Plug - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
a mains power plug or other type of electrical connector that mates with a socket or jack, in particular used with electrical or electronic equipment or appliances (See Domestic AC power plugs and sockets.)
This may pose a problem if both connectors have pins, for example the European 3-pin power connector.
The male connector is the plug, the female the socket.

 Appliance plug - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An appliance plug is an obsolete three-conductor power connector originally developed for electric jugs and similar small appliances.
Appliance plugs were also used to supply power to electric toasters, electric coffee percolators, electric frypans, and many other appliances.
The mains connectors of the appliance plug are two rounded sockets that accept two rounded pins from the appliance.

 Power cord - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
American, Canadian or Japanese power cords tend to be bulkier than the mains cables used in the rest of the world, because of the higher currents required to deliver the same power (watts) at 110 V compared with 230 V. Power cables may be either fixed or detachable from the appliance.
In the case of detachable leads, the appliance end of the power cord has a socket (female connector) rather than a plug (male connector) to link it to the appliance, to avoid the dangers from having a live protruding pin.
A mains cable (Commonwealth English) or power cord (American English) is cable that temporarily connects an electrical appliance to an electrical power source.

 Screened High Conductivity Copper AC powercord cable.
Candour powercord is available either unterminated or with a non-magnetic MK mains plug (silver plated fuse and fuse holder) or with a 3 pin US mains plug and five different terminations.
Candour powercord cable reduces the impedance on the mains and is screened for RFI, greatly reducing the mains noise floor.
Additionally, Candour power cord exhibits significantly lower EMP (electro-magnetic pollution), which is closely linked to cancers and other cell damage.

 Domestic AC power plugs & sockets - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A power socket (electrical socket, power point, mains socket, plug-in, outlet, receptacle, or female power connector) is a connection point that delivers mains electricity when a plug is inserted into it.
Above 10 amps, equipment must be either wired permanently to the electrical supply system with appropriate branch circuit protection or connected to the mains with an appropriate high power industrial connector.
The main danger that can be posed by the neutral is it becoming live after a broken neutral in the wiring.

In some cases it is arbitrary which of a pair of mating connectors is the plug, and which the socket (see plug).

British Standard BS 1363 requires use of a three pin fused plug for all connections to the power mains.
Plug F, known as CEE 7/4 and commonly called a " Schuko plug", is like E except that it has two earthing clips on the sides of the plug instead of a female earth contact.
The plug itself is similar to C except that it is round and has the addition of a female contact to accept the earthing pin in the socket.

 Power strip - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A power strip (also known as a plug board, power board, power bar, gangplug or multibox) is a strip of sockets that attaches to the end of a flexible cable and allows multiple devices to be plugged in.
Power strips are generally considered a safer alternative to using "double adaptors" or "two-way plugs" / "three-way plugs" which plug directly into the socket with no lead for multiple appliances.
More elaborate power strips may use inductor-capacitor networks to achieve a similar effect of protecting equipment from high voltage spikes on the mains circuit.

 Smart Plug
The AC power monitoring device of the present invention is unique in that the entire electronic circuit is self-contained within a universal AC plug form-factor, being of any type of plug used for 115 volt, 230 volt or other AC voltages.
Accordingly, in the present invention, an electronic circuit is assembled onto a miniature printed circuit board and assembled into an AC plug body such that the AC mains connect to terminals on or connected to the printed circuit board.
The circuit contains a filtered power supply, microcontroller, and external interface, such that the plug may be connected to a special interface connector in order for data to be exchanged with a PC or other programmer/reader device.

 Mains : search word
Type F [[Mains power plug and socket]] The term mains usually refers to the general purpose AC electrical power supply (as in "I've connected the appliance to the mains").
In Japan, the electrical power supply to households is at 100 V. Eastern and northern parts of Honshu (including Tokyo) as well as Hokkaido have a frequency of 50 Hz, whereas western Honshu (including Nagoya, Osaka, and Hiroshima), Shikoku, Kyushu and Okinawa operate at 60 Hz.
A device at 120 V draws twice as much current as a device with the same power draw at 240 V. electric dryer requires 12.5 A at 240 V or 25 A at 120 V. The end result is that wiring must be larger, and each outlet supplies less power.

a mains power plug or other type of electrical connector that mates with a socket or jack, in particular used with electrical or electronic equipment or appliances (See Domestic AC power plugs and sockets.)
The male connector is the plug, the female the socket.
The connector normally mounted on a cable is the plug, and the connector mounted on the equipment is the socket.

Usually this is selected by either a rotary plug arrangement or by means of push-on tags on the mains transformer.
Through a switching system, resistive droppers and rectifier/smoothing circuits provide power from mains.
It can be used to indicate just AC/DC power supplies, but it can also mean battery/mains.

The electrical plug and socket were invented by Harvey Hubbell and patented in 1904.
Many manufactures of electrical devices, particularly personal computers, have adopted the practice of incorporating a world-standard IEC connector on the device and including a power cord equipped with a mating IEC connector on one end and the local power plug at the other.
