What do the C13 and C14 sockets mean?

   We often refer to C13, C14 when we choose the European standard European socket, so what is the big C13 here?

   In fact, C13, C14 are two interfaces of the power cord.

   So what is the difference between the two interface types of power lines c13 and c14?

    Power cord: A wire that carries current. Usually the way of current transmission is point-to-point transmission. The power cable can be divided into an AC AC power cable and a DC DC power cable according to the application. Generally, the AC power cable is a wire that passes a relatively high voltage AC. This type of wire requires a uniform standard to obtain a safety certificate and can be formally produced. The DC line is basically a DC with a lower voltage, so there is no strict AC line requirement in terms of safety.

   Power cord plug type:

   US plug: How many lines are indicated by US regulations: 2 × 1.31mm2 (16AWG), 2 × 0.824mm2 (18AWG): VW-1 (or HPN) 60 °C (or 105 °C) 300Vmm2.

   Japanese plug PSE, JET: There are two kinds of power cords: one is 3×0.75mm2, the other is 2×0.75mm2, 3×0.75mm2:3 indicates three-core wire; 0.75mm2 indicates the core cross-sectional area.

   European plugs: plugs are available from suppliers and suppliers. Models such as: KE-006 YX-002 and other countries: (D (Denmark); N (Norway); S (Sweden); VDE (Germany); FI (Finland) ); IMQ (Italy); KEMA (Netherlands); CEBEC (Belgium).

    English plug:: 240V 50HZ withstand voltage 3750V 3S 0.5mA, fuse (3A 5A 10A 13A) (FVSE) → fuse, size requirements: total length 25-26.2mm intermediate diameter is 4.7-6.3mm metal cap diameter at both ends is 6.25-6.5 Mm (silk screen BS1362).
