Sähköpistorasian
Sähköpistorasia, often referred to as a wall socket or outlet, is a device that allows electrical devices to be connected to a power supply. In Finland, the standard sähköpistorasia is a Schuko type, characterized by two round pins and a grounding contact. This type of socket is designed to accept a corresponding plug. The primary function of a sähköpistorasia is to provide a safe and standardized interface for electricity distribution within a building. They are typically installed in walls and are connected to the building's electrical wiring system. Safety features are incorporated into their design to prevent accidental contact with live electrical components. The voltage and frequency supplied through a sähköpistorasia in Finland are standard for household use, typically 230 volts and 50 hertz. The installation and maintenance of sähköpistorasioita must adhere to strict electrical safety regulations to ensure the protection of users and prevent electrical hazards such as short circuits or fires. Modern sähköpistorasioita may also include features like USB ports for direct charging of devices.
