I have learnt that cigarette sockets supply two voltages: 12 or 24 volts. 12-volt sockets are widely used in light duly vehicles while 24-volt sockets in heavy duty vehicles. The sockets are identical in terms of configuration and dimensions. Is there any mechanism to prevent a 12-volt equipment from being plugged in a 24-volt socket?
