Gandalph Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Which EU countries use them?Not sure on that one DW I think Germany use a two pin type. But we use proper three pin plugs here in Britain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A GFI outlet/breaker is needed around water but I would not bet my life on the proper reaction of that outlet/breaker, especially in conditions shown in the picture I originally posted.

B) We have fuse board with trip switches instead of the old fashioned fuse wire. I addition, for items possibly exposed to wire breakage, such as electric lawn mowers or hedge trimmers etc, we use a trip switch plug in the circuit which trips the fuse at 30 milliamperes. The following is a quote regarding UK mains voltage. Click here . I can see little point in the US system of having two different voltages in the same house. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
