Technical specification
- The Type I Adapter has 3 long, thin flat pins arranged in an inverted triangular shape that looks like a V.
- The third lowermost pin is the grounding pin and there are Type I plugs without the grounding pin (plug with only 2 pins) as well.
- Type I adapters are rated 220-240 V and 10 A.
- While using the adapter in Australia, their standard rating is 10 A but sockets rated 15 A are also found and the hole for the ground pin is wider in the 15 A socket accordingly.
- So make sure that your adapter is rated for 10 A since a smaller ground pin will fit into the 15 A socket but a larger 15 A ground pin on the adapter will not go into the 10 A socket.
