Type G is the only general purpose outlet type in use in Ireland. Bathrooms may have shaver sockets. These accept 2.5 amp Europlug CEE 7/16 and UK type BS 4573 plugs, which used on shavers and toothbrushes. They do not accept larger type C plugs and general purpose outlets are generally banned in bathrooms / wet areas.
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.
CEE 7 is a standard for alternating-current plugs and sockets.First published in 1951 by the former International Commission on the Rules for the Approval of Electrical Equipment (), it unified standards produced by several continental European countries.
BS 546, "Two-pole and earthing-pin plugs, socket-outlets and socket-outlet adaptors for AC (50-60 Hz) circuits up to 250 V" describes four sizes of plug rated at 2 A, 5 A (Type D), 15 A (Type M) and 30 A. The plugs have three round pins arranged in a triangle, with the larger top pin being the earthing pin.
The country is attempting to use wind power to supply 40 percent of its electricity consumption by 2020. [13] At the same time, Spain is also developing other renewable sources of energy, particularly solar photovoltaic. Renewable based power in Spain reached 46.7% of total power consumption in 2021. [14]
In 2009 Spain produced 13% wind power compare to the use of electricity (794/ 6,145) [9] The wind capacity installed at end 2010 will, in a normal wind year, produce 14.4% of electricity, when the equivalent value for Germany is 9.4%, Portugal 14% and Denmark 24%.
IEC 60884-1 para 9.2 does stipulate that "it shall not be possible, within a given system, to engage a plug with a socket-outlet having a higher voltage rating or a lower current rating". IEC 60884-1 para 6.1 defines the preferred voltage ratings for single phase plugs and sockets as 130 V or 250 V.
