This list of newspapers currently being published in the Philippines includes broadsheets and tabloids published daily and distributed nationwide. Regional newspapers or those published in the regions are also included.
NEMA 5-20R outlets, which are similar to type B but have a T-shaped neutral slot, are sometimes used for higher current 120 V equipment (up to 20 A). Homes are typically provided with 120/240 V split-phase power; NEMA 14-30R and 14-50R receptacles are provided on 240 V circuits for clothes dryers and electric stoves. [20] Cape Verde: C, F 220 V
During the first 50 years of commercial use of electric power, standards developed rapidly based on growing experience. Technical, safety, and economic factors influenced the development of all wiring devices and numerous varieties were invented. After the two-prong electric plug was introduced in the 1920s, the three-pin outlet was developed.
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.
IEC 60309 (formerly IEC 309 and CEE 17, also published by CENELEC as EN 60309) is a series of international standards from the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) for "plugs, socket-outlets and couplers for industrial purposes".
Today most 60 Hz systems deliver nominal 120/240 V, and most 50 Hz nominally 230 V. The significant exceptions are in Brazil, which has a synchronized 60 Hz grid with both 127 V and 220 V as standard voltages in different regions, [ 21 ] and Japan, which has two frequencies : 50 Hz for East Japan and 60 Hz for West Japan.
The right-hand column shows the design that prevailed and is in use today. Schuko ( / ˈ ʃ uː k oʊ / ) or type F , is a connector (plug/socket) system used in much (but not all) of Europe. It is a registered trademark [ 1 ] referring to a system of AC power plugs and sockets that is defined as " CEE 7/3" (sockets) and "CEE 7/4" (plugs).
It was replaced by News Night with Pia Hontiveros effective March 27. [4] The network's move to retire the newscast was also partly due to viewers' complaints of retaining the Network News name despite rebranding three times. On March 26, 2017, CNN Philippines Network News Weekend officially ended the near 5-year run of Network News. [5]
