The electrical power plug C - All you need to know.

Type C, also known as the European plug, is a power plug that has two round pins. It is used in most countries in Europe, as well as some countries in Africa, Asia, and South America. Type C plugs are typically rated for voltages between 220 and 240V, and have a maximum current rating of 6A. They are commonly used for small appliances, electronics, and chargers. The plug design is standardized by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and is referred to as IEC 60906-1.

FAQ

Is plug type C grounded?

Type C power plugs are typically ungrounded. They have two round prongs and do not have a ground prong. This means that they do not provide the same level of safety as grounded plugs and may pose a greater risk of electric shock. It is important to note that this information is a generalization and may not hold true for all regions that use Type C plugs. The electrical infrastructure and regulations of a specific country should be consulted to determine if Type C plugs are grounded or not. In general, it is recommended to use grounded plugs whenever possible to reduce the risk of electric shock. If an appliance is designed to be used with a grounded plug and is used with an ungrounded outlet, the appliance may not work properly or may pose a safety hazard.
