Literally they had one job. This has a schuko plug sized receptacle but with Italian plug size holes. So it can convert from Italian 10A plug to Italian 10A plug... really useful...

Producing who know how many millions of useless converters and shipping them in a different continent without trying them or even reading the specs....

If it goes into a 10A plug it should have the small holes, the Schuko plugs with the fat holes are rated up for more, 16A I think.

I mean as a female socket it could have the "fat holes" - because the current limiting interface is the thin, male part that goes into the outlet. It's not like a consumer will feed back 16 power into the outlet.

[–] froh42@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Oh god no. It's not about feeding in 16A, it's about consuming 16A thereby overloading the wiring. If everything else is OK, trying to consume 16A should trip the fuse, still - if that doesn't work, you'll get a certain (normally very small) fire risk.

Okay, fair point, but that's the same issue as connecting muliple consumers to the same wall outlet via an extension cord / multisocket.

We're still taking about electrical sockets... right?

Sigh tar -xzvf

I've seen the smaller holed ones on ungrounded sockets, but not on a grounded one like this. But I am no electrician.

[–] froh42@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago

Yep this one still is very weird.
