Plug sockets are available in a range of sizes, typically referred to by the number of gangs. The number of gangs relates to the number of actual sockets on the plug. These various socket sizes can also be switched meaning each socket on the face has its own individual power switch for on/off control.
This plug was used to connect low power appliances (and to adaptors from the larger socket types). With our wide range of options, exceptional customer service, and commitment to quality, expert electrical is your trusted partner for all your electrical socket, fuse, and spur needs. These spurs are invaluable in wiring circuits as they provide a means of isolating the circuit, especially in situations where accessing the appliance directly is difficult.
A conversion plug[83] is a special type of plug suitable for the connection of non-bs 1363 type
plugs (to a recognized standard) to bs 1363 sockets. An example would be class 2 appliances from mainland europe which are fitted with moulded europlugs. Unlike a temporary travel adaptor, conversion plugs, when closed, resemble normal plugs, although larger and squarer. The non-bs 1363 plug is inserted into the contacts, and the hinged body of the conversion plug is closed and fixed shut to grip the plug. Conversion plugs may be non-reusable (permanently closed) or reusable, in which case it must be impossible to open the conversion plug without using a tool.

Bs 1363 is a british standard which specifies the common single-phase ac power plugs and sockets that are used in the united kingdom. Distinctive characteristics of the system are shutters on the line and neutral socket holes, and a fuse in the plug. Bs 1363 was introduced in 1947 as one of the new standards for electrical wiring in the united kingdom used for post-war reconstruction. This plug corresponds to type g in the iec table.[38] bs 1363 replaced the bs 546 plug and socket (which are still found in old installations or in special applications such as remotely switched lighting).
