[quote]I thought that Italy has a higher rated 2-pin Europlug-like connector too ? 10 A ?[|quote]
Obviously they don't. All "ungrounded 10A plugs" I've seen were actually Euro plugs instead, with the 2.5A max. In fact they'd only need to make them rectangular instead of the weird Euro design and they wouldn't fit Euro sockets any more, but for some reason they don't.
However, Euro outlets are pretty rare.
And considering what rubbish is sold openly today... I've seen lots of taps that convert a Schuko socket into 3 Euro sockets. However, the face of those adaptors is more or less flat, so it also takes 2 ungrounded plugs, or with some brute force probably even Schuko plugs! No approval marks visible, manufactured by Kopp.
