The first thing to be guided when choosing a socket - it's theirs
specialization. Most often in our country, sockets are used with two
holes. The diameter of the reservoir of modern sockets is filled by one standard, but in household electrical appliances are often encountered forks that are not suitable for a modern outlet, since the old models have a hole diameter there are slightly smaller. Outlets that are used in other countries can be made with three plug holes.
Second what needs to be taken into account by buying a socket - this is how
The socket is mounted on the wall.
If the wiring is laid inside the wall, under the layer of plaster, then
The sockets are made in the nest specially prepared for this chain.
In this case, the inner model will fit you. Box outlet

Product. At the beginning of this labeling there are letters - IP, cut from words
"INTERNATIONAL PROTECTION". About the degree of security says the most First digit After IP characters
- if there is no "0" ahead - then there is no defense;
- "6" - means maximum protection. This model is dustproof.
The degree of security is determined depending on whether the value of which maximum size can get into the outlet.
Second digit marking indicates the degree of protection against exposure
The external environment is primarily moisture. In the case when there is a need
Setting the outlet in the cellar or in the basement, this figure
There must be no less than "6". Models with this indicator may
Provide protection even from a jet of water. The bathroom will be enough - "4". If the second digit after IP is "0", then this suggests that there is no protection against moisture.
When building a new house, it is better to stop your choice on sockets that are equipped with grounding, since according to modern electrical safety standards, household sockets must have grounding. Choose such a rosette is quite simple, three wires come out of its case.
