What is the voltage of electricity supplied to houses in South Africa?

The standard voltage supplied to residential properties in South Africa is 230 volt single phase at 50 cycles per second (50 Hz). In some cases (by application) it is possible to get a 380 volt three phase power connected to the house.Outlet receptacles (sockets) and plugsThere are two official South African socket and plug standards: type M and type N. Type M is ubiquitous, whereas type N is not so common. Appliances with a type C plug are very commonly found and used with a plug adapter in order to fit type M sockets. Type N sockets are compatible with C plugs. Besides type M and N (and C), the older type D sockets can also be found.For more information see the Related Link "Electricity around the world" shown below.


Would South African 230 volts appliance work on 240 volts in Australia?

Yes. Both countries use almost the identical electical electrical systems. The voltage from both an Australian and South Africa outlet can vary from 220v-250volts depending on distance from transformer and current load on the line.


Is it safe to plug in a 15A dimmer pack into a standard 13A socket?

No it is not safe because it may be possible that the load 15 A may take grater than 15 amp and your socket and wiring may burn or damage.so i will say that use 20 amp socket it will safe for your device and also for your wiring connection.


Where do the 2 wires go from the little white plug on the alternator on a 82 Suburban 350?

A 95 LeSabre, with the factory alternator, would typically have one larger wire to the back of the unit, then a regulator plug on the side. The large wire is the battery connection, and is usually connected, using a fusible link, to the battery connection at the starter. The regulator connection I couldn't say for sure without the wiring diagram for the vehicle, but usually one wire always has voltage, and the other has voltage when the ignition key is turned on.

Do you need a plug converter with 2 or 3 prongs from your North American plug into a Australian socket?

What you need to worry about more than if the plug fits is that the voltage is correct. If you are in the US and about to plug something into a standard(US) socket make sure it either accepts 110V current or that is equipped to transform 110 into whatever it needs.

What is the common way of referring to a plug and its corresponding socket as per the electrical engineering terminology?

Plug and socket, plug and socket outlet, plug and receptacle or plain plug and outlet all seem to be in common usage in the US. Plug and socket is possibly the only wording commonly used in the UK. [Plug and socket outlet sounds ok to a me, as a Brit, but we never really use that expression in the UK. Plug and outlet or plug and receptacle actually sound very strange!]

Can a 350 watt convection oven run on 110 volt AC power?

If it can plug into the wall socket, then it has been designed for 110-120 volts of AC power and therefore will work. If you are talking about an oven the size of a dishwasher, than it may use a special higher voltage socket. A toaster oven will work just fine at 110V. If the appliance is not designed for the voltage, then the plug won't fit in the socket. I have never heard of an oven that uses only 350 watts though.
