16a socket and 10a socket difference how to choose outlet

The security of electricity in the home is a problem that everyone is very concerned about. There are some high-power electrical appliances in the home such as: air conditioners, refrigerators, etc. These electrical appliances must correspond to the corresponding outlets, otherwise accidents can easily occur. The general socket is divided into 16a socket and 10a socket. What is the difference between the 16a socket and the 10a socket ? Usually, how do we choose the socket you want? Let's take a look at it together with the Xiaobian!

Difference between 16a socket and 10a socket

1. The difference between 16a socket and 10a socket: appearance difference, 16a is a three-eye plug, and its three-eye socket is larger than 10a. The 10a is a five-eye plug, one of three eyes and one of two eyes.

2. Difference between 16a socket and 10a socket: The difference between the use of 10a plug and 16a plug is not universal, 16a plug can not be inserted into the 10a socket, and vice versa.

3. The difference between 16a socket and 10a socket: The socket metal is not the same, and the carrying capacity of the 10a socket is smaller than that of the 16a socket. Therefore, the copper used in the 16a socket is also more.

4. The difference between the 16a socket and the 10a socket: the acceptance scale is different, the socket power of the 10a is controlled within 1800 watts, and the socket of the 16a can accept electrical power within 3000 watts.

5. Difference between 16a socket and 10a socket: Because 16a socket can accept larger size than 10a socket, 16a socket is usually used in air-conditioning appliances.

How to choose outlet

1. When choosing an outlet, you must choose a product that has passed the national inspection. Generally, you must use a medium-to-high-grade product that is flame-retardant, and do not buy counterfeit goods and low-grade goods.

2. Safe outlets should be used in our indoor residences, and splash-proof outlets should be used in places with heavy moisture such as kitchens and bathrooms.

3. The rated current of the power socket should be greater than 1.25 times of the rated current of the known operating equipment. Generally, the rated current of the single-phase power socket is 10A, and that of the special power socket is 16A. The distribution circuit and connection power supply method of special high-power household appliances should be selected according to practical capacity.

4. In order to facilitate plugging, generally 86mm × 86mm unit panel, the number of combination socket should choose two (package switch) is better. If more than three, we must use 146 panel multi-hole socket.

5. Some household electrical appliances that are connected to the power supply and are at risk of electric shock, such as washing machines, should be selected with a switch to disconnect the power outlet.

6. In some places with heavy moisture, the socket should be equipped with a waterproof box.

The article concludes: For the difference between the 16a socket and the 10a socket and how to buy the socket, Xiaobian first introduced it here. Because we often come in contact with outlets, we need to understand these outlets and choose different outlets in places with different power consumption so that we can avoid accidents.
