Chinese sockets, in new work. The one on the left is ordinary 220V, the one on the right is 380V. According to the correspodent, the latter is better than the plug/sockets used in Europe as it allows you to swap phases easily. (I have a picture of the corresponding plug, but I think I can leave it to your imagination.)
