[QUOTE="grumpybear, post: 1129358, member: 15920"] I regularly see posts regarding mains electrical plug types and where in the world they are used. This link should assist. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.worldstandards.eu/electricity/plugs-and-sockets/[/URL] Regarding South African use, only types M and N are legal and type C is considered as compatible with type N for ungrounded use. ALL the other types are not legal for SA use and your insurance may reject claims where it was found that these are in use. Plug types E and F in particular are considered unsafe as the earth pin of the socket is exposed when no plug is inserted. Should a non SA plug be fitted to a device it should be removed and replaced with a legal type. If an appliance is supplied to the customer with a non SA plug it is the responsibility of the seller to fit the correct type. [/QUOTE]
