CEE Connectors on everything.

 

I "Should" have said connectors not cable although they do use Yellow and Blue cables to indicate the voltage and aid visibility.

 

The size of the plug shell is related to the current rating. typically 16, 32, 63, 125A

The 16A plugs are about 50mm diameter x about 150 mm long.

The 125A connectors are about 100mm in diameter and can be upto 300mm long.

 

They are actually very good connectors, strong, protected against the ingress of moisture and dirt and MUCH cheaper than the earlier metal exterior sockets that used to be used. As I said colours indicate the working voltage and current type eg Low Voltage DC and the connectors are keyed so you cant insert a yellow plug into a blue socket. The also have connectors from 2 to 5 or 6 pins.

Damn, and I thought we had weird regs here :)

Wonder how much of that reg was invented by tool manafacturers? Do they
put those rediculasly large yellow plugs on the tools too or do they use
a standard US plug?
