Outlet - Consent

Japanese: コンセント - こんせんと
Outlet - Consent

A common name for the socket used to connect low-voltage indoor wiring to electrical appliance cords. The correct name is plug socket. There are two-, three-, and four-pole sockets, and in addition to general indoor use, there are also hook-on (twist-lock), waterproof, explosion-proof, and grounded types. There are four standard capacities: 15 amp, 20 amp, 30 amp, and 50 amp, and the operating voltage is 100 volts or 200 volts. The product and performance of the socket and plug combination are specified in the Electrical Appliance and Material Safety Act and JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards), while the construction is specified in the Electrical Equipment Technical Standards and Internal Wiring Regulations (private regulations that specify the contents described in the "Interpretation of Technical Standards for Electrical Equipment"). In the same place of use, different sockets with different structures are used for each electrical system to avoid confusion between electrical systems and circuit classifications. Furthermore, the general rule is that one device should be connected to one outlet, and running cords around the appliance to handle multiple loads should be avoided.

Japanese:

低圧屋内配線と電気器具コードの接続部分に使用される差込み接続器の受け口の通称。正しくはプラグソケットplug socketという。造営材内にコンセント本体を埋め込む埋込み型と、表面に取り付ける露出型とがある。極数は2極、3極、4極のものがあり、構造としては、一般屋内用のほかに引掛け型(ツイストロック型)、防水型、防爆型および接地極付きなどがある。容量は15アンペア、20アンペア、30アンペア、50アンペアの4種類を標準とし、使用電圧は100ボルトと200ボルトの区別がある。コンセントとプラグをあわせた製品と性能に関しては電気用品安全法やJIS(ジス)(日本工業規格)に、施工に関しては電気設備技術基準および内線規程(「電気設備の技術基準の解釈」に記載された内容を具体的に定めた民間規程)に定められている。同一の使用場所では、電気方式および回路区分の混同を避けるため、それぞれの電気方式ごとに構造の異なるコンセントが使用される。なお、1個のコンセントには1台の機器が原則で、コードを引き回して多数の負荷に使用することは避けなければならない。
