ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade Non-US Electrical Systems & Trades does CENELEC need to change plug and light fitting standards completely?

have to agree with Sven. Some of those Europlug-to-BS1363 adapters I've seen have fairly flimsy looking contacts in them, and once installed there's little movement to keep the contacts clean and free from oxidation.

Luckily, they're only used for light loads, but I still don't really like the approach.
