A variety of different kinds of IEC 60320 plugs and sockets. IEC 60320 Appliance couplers for household and similar general purposes [1] is a set of standards from the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) specifying non-locking connectors for connecting power supply cords to electrical appliances of voltage not exceeding 250 V (a.c.) and rated current not exceeding 16 A. [1 ...
Website. www.iec.ch. The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC; French: Commission électrotechnique internationale) is an international standards organization [ 3 ][ 4 ] that prepares and publishes international standards for all electrical, electronic and related technologies – collectively known as " electrotechnology ".
The 15A claim is simply wrong and I have removed it. IEC 60320 specifies a maximum current of 10A for C13/C14. FF-UK 08:34, 11 October 2018 (UTC) As discussed elsewhere in the article the IEC rating is 10A, but the likes of UL seem prepared to approve IEC 320 connectors at higher current ratings than the IEC standard.
IEC standards cover a vast range of technologies within electrotechnology. The numbers of older IEC standards were converted in 1997 by adding 60000; for example IEC 27 became IEC 60027. IEC standards often have multiple sub-part documents; only the main title for the standard is listed here. IEC 60027 Letter symbols to be used in electrical ...
Earthing systems. v. t. e. IEC 60364 Electrical Installations for Buildings is the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)'s international standard on electrical installations of buildings. This standard is an attempt to harmonize national wiring standards in an IEC standard and is published in the European Union by CENELEC as "HD 60364".
A tower type UPS with one IEC 60320 C14 input and three C13 outlets A large data-center-scale UPS being installed by electricians An uninterruptible power supply ( UPS ) or uninterruptible power source is a type of continual power system that provides automated backup electric power to a load when the input power source or mains power fails.
IEC connectors. IEC connectors are electrical power connectors specified by IEC standards. The term may refer to connectors specified by: Wikimedia Commons has media related to IEC connectors. IEC 62196, for electric vehicles. IEC 60309, for industrial purposes. IEC 60320, for appliance coupling, up to 250 V AC. IEC 60906-1, up to 250 V AC.
BS 546, Two-pole and earthing-pin plugs, socket-outlets and socket-outlet adaptors for AC (50–60 Hz) circuits up to 250 V is an older British Standard for three-pin AC power plugs and sockets. Originally published in April 1934, it was updated by a 1950 edition which is still current, [ 1 ] with eight amendments up to 1999.
