It also seems like British wall sockets have switches on the wall itself. It seemed pervasive to me, but I don't know if that is a law, standard practise, or just luck.
However it is great because you can always turn something off at the wall, without having to remove the plug from the wall. I'm sure that repeated unplugging in situations without a wall switch cause more problems for electrical safety/wear and tear.
- lowmagnet 11y agoI love the integrated switch on the wall as a concept. I'd love to switch off my microwave between uses because its VFD and internal clock being constantly on makes little sense to me. This sort of draw would be an impediment to an off-grid or hybrid power system, constantly draining the supply.
