@tinyfluffs @siege The UK sockets are technically deprecated both mechanically and electrically and if you want a friggin' fuse, put that into the device at the back and have some good quality breakers instead...

All those #IEC connectors - espechally IEC60906-1 - are electrically, mechanically and otherwise far safer and more secure.

@doc @tinyfluffs @siege well, those connectors ain't designed with any retention locks or other mechanical fastening, which is a valid issue.

#IEC60309 doesn't have that issue (tho it's obviously quite bulky for what it is) and thus is the de-facto standard in Europe and espechally Germany for connecting industrial appliances...
