| Both 10A and 16A three-phase plugs and sockets are available for domestic use in Switzerland. They have a remarkable feature: standard single phase plugs do also fit in three-phase sockets. That means that a 3-pin 10A plug (see example at right) can be used with four types of sockets: standard single phase (three slots) rated for either 10A or 16A, and three-phase 10A or 16A outlets. Likewise, 16A single phase plugs also fit in 16A three-phase sockets. |  |
