(1) It is worth noting that the combination of a type C, E or F plug with a type D socket may often be workable; but it is unsafe to use. [37] [38] type C, E & F plugs/sockets are not accepted in the IS 1293 standard. The standard uses type D sockets for 6 A current and type M sockets for 16 A current. [39] [40] [41] [42]
Switched-mode power supply units (PSUs) in domestic products such as personal computers often have universal inputs, meaning that they can accept power from mains supplies throughout the world, although a manual voltage range switch may be required. Switch-mode power supplies can tolerate a wide range of power frequencies and voltages.
A reed switch has very low resistance when closed, typically as low as 0.05 ohms, whereas the Hall effect sensors can be in the hundreds of ohms. A reed switch requires only two wires whereas most solid-state devices require three wires. A reed switch can be said to require zero power to operate it.
