Yes, europlug works everywhere in mainland EU (Not in Ireland and Cyprus) and indeed in most of the world, which is fine for class 2 devices that the majority of kit you typically move around is.
- extraduder_ire 3y agoMalta uses type G plugs also. If you're reasonably familiar with electricity, you can use a europlug with a type G socket even without an adapter. (unless you count a pin/screwdriver to bypass the child gates) In fact, I have both an adapted schuko plug and an unadapted europlug wall wart under my desk right now. I should really get an adapter for the latter one though, so it can be individually fused and make better contact.
- ta1243 3y agoPersonally I wouldn't be happy with a high current europlug in a type-g socket, and given that type-g electrical installations assume a fused plug it's probably not a great idea. If you had a fault you could be drawing 25A up a 3A cable without tripping a breaker.
- extraduder_ire 3y agoI pretty much only do it with low-power wallwarts, and only on extension cables (fused to 13A or less) since it's easier to bypass gates on those than a wall socket. My main concern is reduced contact area from putting a circular peg in a rectangular hole. Still, I should get and use an adapter since they're cheap even if standard compliance is a bit random.
