Pistokepistorasiayhdistelmä

Pistokepistorasiayhdistelmä, often translated as socket-outlet combination or combined socket-outlet, is a type of electrical fitting that integrates multiple electrical outlets and sometimes other functions into a single unit. These devices are commonly used in residential, commercial, and industrial settings to provide a convenient and organized way to connect various electrical appliances.

A typical pistokepistorasiayhdistelmä might contain several standard power outlets (e.g., Schuko, CEE), along with features like USB charging ports, surge protection, or even integrated light switches. The design aims to reduce clutter by consolidating multiple connection points into one accessible location. They can be surface-mounted or flush-mounted, depending on the installation requirements and aesthetic preferences.

The primary advantage of using a pistokepistorasiayhdistelmä is space-saving and improved cable management. Instead of multiple individual outlets and their associated wiring, a single unit serves the purpose. This is particularly useful in areas where electrical demand is high, such as kitchens, offices, or workshops. Safety standards are crucial for these devices, and they must be installed by qualified electricians to ensure proper grounding and protection against electrical hazards. The specific configuration and features of a pistokepistorasiayhdistelmä can vary widely based on regional electrical standards and manufacturer offerings.
