Description
British standard plugs and sockets according to BS 1363 are introduced in the late 1940s. Used in the UK, Ireland, Cyprus, Malta and some countries in Africa and Asia.
BS 1363 plug. From 1984 line and neutral pins must have insulating sleeves (black sheaths) to minimize the risk of a shock when pushing the plug in. Insulating sleeves are not allowed for earth pins. These plugs always have a side entry cable, rather than top entry. This feature makes it difficult to unplug it by tugging on the cable, which is an unsafe practice. Manufacturer: MK Electric.
Inside view of a typical BS 1363 plug. Because British circuits (see page on ring circuits) can deliver more current than many appliance power cords can safely handle, BS 1363 plugs are required to carry a BS 1362 cartridge fuse. Existing BS 1362 fuse ratings are: 13, 10, 7, 5, 3, 2 and 1A ampere. 13A is commonly used in BS 1363 plugs (hence also indicated as '13A plug' ).
