    IEC 60906-1 That is not a reversible plug which is annoying at times.

    It takes less force to plug in. Above 2.5A, Schuko plugs require a lot of force to plug in and pull out. To some extent, this is actually good for safety, but I would argue that, in the case of Schuko plugs at least, it’s too much Hmm, I get what you mean and this can be an issue and it’s probably the reason why plugs without grounding exist since they are easier to pull out.

    It is also easier to plug in without seeing the plug since it isn’t round. Everyone who has tried to plug in a Schuko plug without seeing the holes knows how difficult it is Never had this issue

    I didn’t even know there are different three-phase power plugs, but then again you rarely need those compared to the normal plugs

        My microwave/oven and my dishwasher are on 2 fase power … 3 fase is rarely needed in a home, we just have it for our cooking plate plus extractor hood which is built in.

        So I have only seen one plug once because in previous houses I have lived in (or been in) with decent power 3 phases wasn’t needed and often not supported since it is a different plug than the default plug. I just dind’t know that they had different options for 3 phase as well.

          I see. In my country ovens and stoves are on three phase power. Otherwise people couldn’t use all four cooking fields of the stove simultaneously. And the oven would take forever to reach 250°
