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 ...
The Common Information Model (CIM) is an electric power transmission and distribution standard developed by the electric power industry. It aims to allow application software to exchange information about an electrical network. [ 1 ] It has been officially adopted by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
United Kingdom. United States. 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 ".
IEC 60052 Voltage measurement by means of standard air gaps; IEC 60055 Paper-insulated metal-sheathed cables for rated voltages up to 18/30 kV (with copper or aluminium conductors and excluding gas-pressure and oil-filled cables) IEC 60059 IEC standard current ratings; IEC 60060 High-voltage test techniques
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.
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.
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".
IEC 60320 3.2 defines the connector as "part of the appliance coupler integral with, or intended to be attached to, the cord connected to the supply" and IEC 60320 3.3 defines the appliance inlet as "part of the appliance coupler integrated or incorporated in the appliance or equipment or intended to be fixed to it".
