Frequently Asked Questions When Buying Sockets and Plugs

What is the difference between a standard socket and an industrial socket?

Standard sockets are designed for everyday electrical appliances in homes and offices, typically with voltage ratings of 230V and amperage up to 16A. Industrial sockets are built for high-power equipment and harsh environments, with voltage ratings up to 690V and higher amperage (up to 125A).
Are all sockets and plugs compatible with each other?

Not all sockets and plugs are universally compatible. It is important to choose products that match the specific voltage, amperage, and type of current (AC/DC) required for your devices. Pay attention to country-specific standards as well.
What is a Schuko socket?

A Schuko (CEE 7/3) socket is a European standard for grounded electrical plugs, widely used in most European countries. These sockets provide safety grounding and are compatible with both two-pin and three-pin plugs.
Can I use outdoor sockets for indoor use?

Yes, outdoor sockets are weatherproof and can be used indoors. However, they are generally more expensive due to their protective features, so using them indoors may not be the most cost-effective choice unless you need the extra protection.
What does the IP rating mean for plugs and sockets?

The IP (Ingress Protection) rating indicates the level of protection against dust and water. For example, an IP44-rated socket is protected against water splashes, while an IP67 socket is fully waterproof and can withstand immersion in water.
Do I need a professional to install sockets and plugs?

While many sockets and plugs are easy to install for those with basic electrical knowledge, it's always recommended to have a licensed electrician perform installations, especially for high-voltage or complex systems.
What is the typical lifespan of a socket or plug?

The lifespan of a socket or plug depends on usage and the environment. High-quality sockets from top manufacturers can last 10-15 years or more with proper maintenance.
Can I find sockets with built-in USB ports at BaltElec?

Yes, BaltElec offers a wide range of sockets with integrated USB ports for convenient charging of mobile devices without the need for an adapter. These are available from brands like Legrand and Schneider Electric.
