So I bet you all are thinking “holy crap, I want one!”. Well I’m going to make this into a YCH! For $10, I will put your OC into either of these drawings. Just email me the references at 10art1pony@derpymail.org or through skype/discord if you have me added. For an extra $5 I’ll print, laminate, and cut it out for you, and if you’re going to any conventions I’m going to, I’ll give it to you there free of shipping.
Any race is acceptable, minor accessories are ok, as long as the pose isn’t changed.

i being shocked while trying to unplug something in my basement. wasn’t able to move for what felt like a minute while the current ran between my thumb and index finger because i accidentally touched the prongs because is was stuck and i couldn’t get a good grip
@when she felt her wings unfold Here’s a page talking about counterfeit BS 1363 plugs. It shows a sleeved earth pin making no electrical connection to the mains protective earth.
That would have the same effect on NEMA plugs when used with almost all existing receptacles (i.e. no connection to live and neutral).
And yes, even on the other side of the atlantic, Clive has fans.
@gallagher117
The sleeves are flush with the brass, so the earth pin physically could be sleeved just like line and neutral. But there doesn’t seem to be a reason to electrically, under non-fault conditions.
And then I saw that deathdaptor video. Yay for Big Clive!
The hole must be much deeper, and the connector should fill it. That’s how the Schuko socket works. There’s still no connection even as it fills the hole. You also need to apply equal pressure on both holes in the socket, so it opens up. This prevents kids from inserting anything in it.
Indeed, I know (roughly) how Schuko and related standards work.
Rebuttal/aside:
NEMA 5-15P (appliance requiring ground) cannot be inserted into NEMA 1-15R (receptacle not providing ground). That’s the only thing I think Schuko gets wrong.
Having said that, I think there’s mechanical bits that prevent CEE 7/6 from being inserted into CEE 7/3. Fair enough.
Some specific receptacles are safe… -ish.
Others are… not.

They don’t even have rubber/plastic tips for the non ing areas? I realize america works on about half the voltage of most of the world but that could still possibly kill you if you grab it wrong.
If you’re talking about insulation sleeves that go part way up on live and neutral, no. Such a plug would make, then break with about half (okay, almost all) the sockets here as inserted. (it used to be all, it’s getting better!)

That’s worrying. I’ve had tingles off unsleeved pins using old standards in the past, and I’ve learned to treat them with respect as a result. Fortunately they’re super-rare now.

Yep. And the worst part is that it can never be fixed. If you put insulated sleeves on the pins, it won’t work in half the receptacles (think sleeved earth on BS1363).
Our new-ish receptacles are required to have shutters on… I think just live? No, it’s supposed to be both, and shuttered on the combination of live and neutral. This was required starting in 2006.

The British standards have specified sleeves and shutters since the mid-1980s. Which is nice, but we and everyone else in Europe secretly want to be using the Danish standard because it just looks so happy—♥
BigClivedotcom is a great channel.
@when she felt her wings unfold
BS1363 sockets have had shutters as standard since their introduction in 1947
I’m about 90% shitpost and 10% serious on this site
If you’re… into that?

It’s for their vibrator.
40A!? WTF are you running in your bedroom? A laundromat?
40A… Jesus.

I will give you that grounded and non-grounded Schuko are the same; but I’m curious of how common non-grounded Schuko sockets are.
Indeed, I know (roughly) how Schuko and related standards work.

That name has to be a joke. X3
your current filter.Not really, no. It used to be worse.
Also, what would insulating the tips even do?

@Deft Gear
Death-daptor, yay!
Then here is mine!
I have 220v 40A in my bedroom and 380v in my backyard.
I just felt like posting about it, I’ll just lay down in the corner

Even better, I have little doubt that you can easily find people complaining about “th’ gubmint comin for muh freedumbs”!
Here’s some idiots breaking them.
Here’s someone complaining about them and someone else describing skirting the law.
This is why we (the USA) can’t have nice things.

Hm… Yeah. That’s a major safety concern, and a fire hazard.
