Perilex are way out of time...

they are not used anymore for a few years, i beleive they aren't even allowed to be newly-installed nowadays.

CEE is the way to go...

The Perilex connector is standard on all electric stoves sold in Sweden. It occupies less space than the red CEE connector.

The Danes have another type of connector for the same purpose. It has with five pins in line. I don't know what it is called.

They are, but who does it? Nobody. Still, I like them better than the bulky CEE plugs.

The Swiss have an ingenious 3ph plug and socket.



It has 3 round pins (L1, N and PE arranged like any Swiss single-phase socket) and two rectangular pins for L2 and L3, so you can hook up both 1- and 3-ph gear.

What a shambles! Looks like the temp site setups on a large building site.

Would I be correct in thinking that the large (insulated) pipes at the base of the "apartments" would be central heating systems - ie a central boiler or other source feeding a number of separate buildings? Or even geotherm?

Sorry uksparky! I overlooked your reply. Yup, they have essentially copied the temporary housing of building sites.

I'm almost 100% certain that these flats are electrically heated. (Very common in Sweden)
You could be right about the hot water: In fact, I think it could be hot and cold water plus the "return"

A few hundred metres south of this there is a conventional building site. It has the same type of module. Pic here
