If you ever see one of the plugs or sockets you would understand why it is impossible to fit an ordinary domestic plug (certainly and European or US plug that I'm familiar with) by accident, or even foreseeable misuse, into an IEC/EN 60309 socket. So there is no opportunity for a manufacturer to argue that the domestic plug fitted to the cord of their standard office ICT product is actually intended for a Type B socket > > Joe Randolph > Telecom Design Consultant > Randolph Telecom, Inc. > 781-721-2848 (USA) > [email protected] > http://www.randolph-telecom.com > > This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list.
