The voltage and current ratings of power outlets are important electrical parameters used to determine the ability of an outlet to supply power reliably and consistently.The rated voltage and current are explained below.

　　1.Rated Voltage:

　　Rated voltage refers to the standard voltage specified in the design and manufacture of power sockets.Common sockets in life are rated at 220V to 240V(depending on the region),while in other countries and regions it may be 110V or other values.The voltage rating is the basis for the socket to be able to work and supply power properly.

　　The purpose of the socket's voltage rating is to ensure that the power socket can provide a stable and continuous voltage output under normal use.If the voltage exceeds the rated voltage of the socket,it may lead to reliable hidden dangers such as scorched wires,damaged electrical equipment or even cause fire.Therefore,the voltage marking of electrical equipment needs to match the rated voltage of the socket to ensure reliable use.

　　2.Rated Current:

　　Rated Current is the value of a very large current that an electrical outlet can withstand.It is usually expressed in amperes(A).The rated current may vary for different types of sockets,commonly 10A,13A,16A etc.

　　The purpose of socket current rating is to ensure that the components such as wires,connectors and switches inside the socket can withstand and conduct the passing current without overloading and heating under normal use,thus ensuring electrical reliability.Therefore,when purchasing electrical equipment,the purchaser should select the appropriate electrical equipment according to the rated current of the socket to avoid overloading.

　　It should be noted that the rated current is not equivalent to the power consumption of the actual electrical equipment.The power consumption of an electrical device is the amount of electricity consumed by the device in its working state,while the rated current refers to the current that the socket can withstand.When purchasing electrical equipment,you should pay attention to whether the rated current of the socket and the power of the equipment match to ensure reliable operation.

　　In conclusion,voltage and current ratings are important parameters of power sockets to determine their ability to supply power and reliability.Knowing and observing the rated voltage and current of the socket ensures the normal operation and reliable use of electrical equipment.
