An underappreciated one is Type I
Extremely safe and easy to produce and it's finally getting properly adopted by China
It can actually take 230V at 32A but these are extremely rare and have a modified keyed ground pin
But tbh the biggest benefit across the world would be seeing the US and Japan getting rid of its ~115VAC infrastructure and adopting a safer and more efficient grid standard. The wasted heat alone on the collective sum of all their cables is mind boggling
- RoyalHenOil 3y agoWhat I don't like about the I standard is that the plug can become loose from the socket if there is downward force on the cord. I would strongly prefer it if the socket were recessed. The plug is also very large and round, which makes it hard to run cords through narrow gaps.
