Electrical: Power Plug & Outlet Type G

Type G is mainly used in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Cyprus, Malta, Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong. This 13 amp plug has three rectangular prongs that form an isosceles triangle. The central earth pin is 4 by 8 mm and 22.7 mm long. Line and neutral pins are 4 by 6.35 mm and 17.7 mm long, on centres spaced 22.2 mm apart. The centre-to-centre distance between the earth pin and the middle of the imaginary line connecting the two power pins is 22.2 mm. The 9-mm long insulated sleeves prevent accidental contact with a bare connector while the plug is partially inserted.

Electrical: Power Plug & Outlet Type F

Type F is used, for instance, in Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Portugal, Spain and Eastern Europe. Plug F is known as CEE 7/4 and commonly called “Schuko plug”, which is the acronym of “Schutzkontakt”, a German word meaning “protection contact” or “safety contact”. The plug was designed in Germany shortly after the First World War. It goes back to a patent (DE 370538) granted in 1926 to Albert Büttner, a Bavarian manufacturer of electrical accessories.

Electrical: Power Plug & Outlet Type E

Type E is primarily used in France, Belgium, Poland, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Tunisia and Morocco. France, Belgium and some other countries have standardized on a socket which is different from the CEE 7/4 socket (type F) that is standard in Germany and other continental European countries. The reason for incompatibility is that grounding in the E socket is accomplished with a round male pin, which is permanently mounted in the socket. This earth pin is 14 mm long and has a diameter of 4.8 mm.  The plug itself is similar to C except that it is round and has the addition of a female contact to accept the socket’s grounding pin. The plug has two 4.8 mm round pins, measuring 19 mm in length on centres spaced 19 mm apart. The centre-to-centre distance between the female contact and the middle of the imaginary line connecting the two power pins is 10 mm.

Electrical: Power Plug & Outlet Type D

Type D is used almost exclusively in India and Nepal. India has standardized on a plug which was originally defined in British Standard 546 (the standard in Great Britain before 1947). This 5 amp plug has three round prongs that form a triangle. The central earth pin is 20.6 mm long and has a diameter of 7.1 mm. The 5.1 mm line and neutral pins are 14.9 mm long, on centres spaced 19.1 mm apart. The centre-to-centre distance between the grounding pin and the middle of the imaginary line connecting the two power pins is 22.2 mm. Type M, which has larger pins and is rated at 15 amps, is used alongside type D for larger appliances in India, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Pakistan. Some sockets can take both type M and type D plugs.

Electrical: Power Plug & Outlet Type C

Type C is used in all countries of Europe except the United Kingdom, Ireland, Cyprus and Malta.

Electrical: Power Plug & Outlet Types A/B

TYPE A

 

Type A is used, for instance, in North and Central America and Japan. This class II ungrounded plug with two flat parallel prongs is pretty much standard in most of North and Central America. It is known as NEMA 1-15 and was invented in 1904 by Harvey Hubbell II. The plug has two flat 1.5 mm thick blades, measuring 15.9 – 18.3 mm in length and spaced 12.7 mm apart. Type A plugs are generally polarised and can only be inserted one way because the two blades do not have the same width. The blade connected to neutral is 7.9 mm wide and the hot blade is 6.3 mm wide. This plug is rated at 15 A.

D3 2.1 Buff: Scourge

I keep a lot of legendaries in my stash hoping someday Blizzard will buff them (see previous post). As in the case for legendary sword Scourge the explosion weapon damage is increased from 130-160% to 1800-2000%. That is a lot considering the proc can trigger at max 50% chance. Watch the video after the break.

D3: Legendary Hoarder

I think I am a hoarder in Diablo 3. I just don't know which legendary to salvage and my stash is full to the max.

D3 Catch of The Day: Butcher's Carver

Not a great legendary at all and actually the bonus on Butcher's Carver is pretty much useless. It says "The Butcher still inhabits his carver". Sounds cool as if you can summon The Butcher and have him fight beside you. Unfortunately you won't but you do make The Butcher's voice when you attack. See the video:

D3 Gameplay: Holy Monk T6 (Part 2)

This is the second part from the previous post:

D3 Gameplay: Holy Monk T6 (Part 1)

Gameplay captured with Bandicam (trial version). Unfortunately the trial version limits the capture at 10 minutes just before I reach the Rift Guardian. This is part 1 of 2:

D3 Build: Main Holy

I used to run a Lightning Monk mainly due fact that to my best weapons were Thunderfury and Won Khim Lau. And the most powerful monk set at that time was the Raiment set. Then when the Sunwukos gets buffed I turned hybrid (Lightning/Holy) capitalizing on the SWK set and my lightning based weapons. Come the 2.1 patch and I totally revamped my monk and go full Holy. With the current build I've managed to reach GR25:

 

D3 Catch of The Day: Depth Diggers 2.1

Pre 2.1 Depths Diggers used to be dropping like rain and they were quite useless. After the 2.1 buff it can take you ages to find one. I got lucky today and the roll on mine is great.
