For
decades Greece had a 3-pin
type of earthed plug and socket, named Tripoliki
(Τριπολικές)
which means three-pole. Late 1980s Greece authorities have decided to
switch to CEE 7/3-7/4 (Schuko) standard for earthed plugs and
sockets. The museum has a Tripoliki plug, but a matching socket is missing. Occasionally Tripoliki sockets can be found in some older houses in Greece. Please contact me if you have an out-of-service socket, or a socket that you like to replace by a Schuko socket. The image shows the outlet of a Tripoliki - Schuko adapter. |

| e | An uncommon T-slot connector plug rated at
10A - 250V that has been made in England. The museum has a few T-slot sockets and plugs, but they are incompatible with the shown connector. The critical difference is the slot spacing (9.9 mm for the connector). Classic U.S. T-slot spacing is 13.8 mm. NEMA 2-20R has a larger slot spacing: 15.9 mm. Non-earthed T-slot plugs and sockets are used In Australia for extra low voltage. They have a slot spacing of 15.2 mm. The significance of the T-slot model made in England is not clear. Was meant for export to …?, or was it an adapter plug for …? If you recognize the English T-slot model, please contact me; find the address at the home page. |
