AC power plugs and sockets connect devices to mains electricity to supply them with electrical power. A plug is the connector attached to an electrically-operated device, often via a cable. A socket (also known as a receptacle or outlet) is fixed in place, often on the internal walls of buildings, and is connected to an AC electrical circuit ...

Diagram of a simple electrical cable with three insulated conductors, with IEC colour scheme. About 1950, PVC insulation and jackets were introduced, especially for residential wiring. About the same time, single conductors with a thinner PVC insulation and a thin nylon jacket (e.g. US Type THN, THHN, etc.) became common. [citation needed]
(1) It is worth noting that the combination of a type C, E or F plug with a type D socket may often be workable; but it is unsafe to use. [38] [39] type C, E & F plugs/sockets are not accepted in the IS 1293 standard. The standard uses type D sockets for 6 A current and type M sockets for 16 A current. [40] [41] [42] [43]
