- jedberg 5y agoThey're definitely much bigger. Look at a British power strip vs an American one. The same length but twice as many plugs on the American one.
- anyfoo 5y agoThey're definitely larger, but as I said in a sibling comment they're not directly a result of the higher voltage specifically. German Schuko is also 230V and even safer (in countries that use it), yet still significantly smaller than British plugs.
