I think something like a flat blade 3 pins in a row italian style plug would be the ideal. Flat and square plugs tend to stay in place compared to round plugs and the 3 pins in a row would be space compact, while still providing grounding.
- excuse-me 14y agoThe reason for the UK triangle is that the orientation is set, so you know which of the supply wires is live and which is neutral - and if the plug is half removed the top exposed pin is ground so if anything fell down onto the socket it wouldn't touch a hot pin Extreme I know - whoever designed the UK plug was obviously paranoid.
- mahyarm 14y agoThat would be solved by the 'polarlized' flat pins that the USA has, making the pins covered for part of the rod and making the grounding pin longer.
