3. Europlug - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europlug

   Example of a Europlug. The Europlug is a flat, non-rewirable two-pole, round-pin domestic AC power plug, rated for voltages up to 250 V and currents up to 2.5 A. [1] It is a compromise design intended to connect low-power Class II appliances safely to the many different forms of round-pin domestic power socket used across Europe.

4. Adapter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adapter

   A passive electric power adapter, sometimes called a travel plug or travel adapter, allows using a plug from one region with a foreign socket. As other countries supply 120-volt, 60 Hz AC, using a travel adapter in a country with a different supply poses a safety hazard if the connected device does not support both input voltages.

   A new power quality standard, AS 61000.3.100, was released in 2011 [25] that details additional requirements. The new standard stipulates a nominal 230 V, and the allowable voltage to the customer's point of supply is, as mentioned, +10% to −6%.

7. AC power plugs and sockets - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_power_plugs_and_sockets

   AC power plugs and sockets connect devices to mains electricity to supply them with electrical power. A plug is the connector attached to an electrically-operated device, often via a cable. A socket (also known as a receptacle or outlet ) is fixed in place, often on the internal walls of buildings, and is connected to an AC electrical circuit.
