That’s different than what my French friend brought over. Aren’t they usually quite bulkier? The ends on her chargers were large round bulky things, with the 3 narrow prongs sticking off. What she had also matched the European adapters I see sold at the electronics store here.
Ah yup! The French one is exactly what I was thinking of. I didn’t realize that there are different outlets in different EU countries. That’s gotta be annoying when traveling.
It’s impossible to short the US ones too. Plugs only go in one way if they’re polarized, or if they’re grounded. Some devices aren’t polarized and they can be plugged in right side up, or upside down.
Americans plugs are very strange
And Japanese and Canada and Mexico. Don’t forget about our homies.
European plugs are too big and bulky for our liking.
I’m used to this kind of guy

Looks Swiss, but I see down the thread that Brazil uses a similar type.
Either way, the Swiss plug feels to me like what if you took the modest CEE 7/16 Europlug and grafted a ground pin onto that.
South Africa also adopted the type N socket
That’s horrible: only one is grounded? A grounded plug can only use half your outlets? Surely to multi-use outpost can also support grounded plugs?
It’s because the installation is old, new ones are always grounded
