AS/NZS 3112 are the harmonised Australian and New Zealand standards for AC Plugs and Socket-Outlets. The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) "world plugs" Web site calls this plug Type I.〔http://www.iec.ch/worldplugs/typeI.htm〕 ==Description== The plug matching the socket-outlet pictured on the left, as used in Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Papua New Guinea and many Pacific Island countries, has two flat pins forming an inverted V-shape plus a vertical earthing pin. These flat blades measure 6.35 by 1.6 mm with the Active and Neutral pins of 17.35 mm in length set 30° to the vertical on a nominal pitch of 13.7 mm and the vertical Earth pin being 20 mm in length.〔http://www.stayonline.com/reference-international-plugs.aspx〕 A standard socket-outlet in Australia provides a nominal voltage of 230 volts RMS〔AS60038-2012 Standards Australia – ''Standard Voltages''〕 at a maximum of 10 amps and always includes an earth connection. "Shuttered" socket-outlets are available, but these are not required by regulation. (Argentina uses a similar plug, with pins 1 mm longer, but with the Active and Neutral connections reversed.) There are unearthed versions of the plug used with this outlet having only the two flat inverted V-aligned pins, without the Earthing pin. Such plugs are only to be used for devices where other safety standards are in use (e.g. double insulation) and these plugs are rated at a maximum of only 7.5 amps. They are not available separately but only integrally with power cords specifically designed for the purpose. A view of the Wiring Side of a typical dual socket-outlet is also shown on the right, together with an annotated view of the mechanism, without the front cover. (One "Rocker" switch has been disassembled to show its operation.) If required, such dual socket-outlets now can be obtained (at additional cost) utilizing insulation displacement as a means of connecting to the supply conductors, as can be seen in the illustration - below right.〔http://updates.clipsal.com/ClipsalOnline/Files/Brochures/A0000102.pdf〕〔http://www.clipsal.com.au/trade/downloads/videos〕 The benefits claimed for their use in these applications include up to 50 percent faster installation, due to the reduction in the stripping, twisting and screwing down processes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「AS/NZS 3112」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
