Euro Sockets and Plugs
At LTC Electrical we supply our customers with new Euro plugs and Euro sockets. This exciting range is aesthetically more pleasing, and the Euro sockets are smaller. This means that more can be fitted to a baseplate. Additionally, when a plug-top is inserted into the 12 mm socket, the pins touch the live terminals only once they are out of sight. This feature makes it one of the safest systems on the market.
A popular addition to the Euro plugs socket outlet is the USB charger receptacles. These are very convenient for charging devices such as cell phones.
If you would like to know more about the new style of socket outlets or would like to book an appointment to have your existing plug sockets upgraded, then contact us.
Euro sockets are safer
The receptacle on the Euro socket is 12mm deep. As a result, the pins on the Euro plug-top do not touch any live parts inside of the receptacle until the pins are no longer visible.
In the past children would wrap their fingers around the older triangular plug-top to remove it and their little fingers could touch the metal pins whilst they were still alive. Subsequently, this has led to many electrocutions.
Euro sockets with USB Charger built in
Plug-sockets that house USB charger sockets are available from us. These are proving to be very popular in the office and the home. Interestingly, one socket outlet plate can hold up to six of the new types of outlets as well as two or more USB outlets. Additionally, these units can be installed in a convenient location to be used to charge phones, laptops, and any other device that charges from a USB charger.
