What is British Standard Wall Switch Socket?
BS 1363 is a British standard that defines the most commonly used type of AC power plugs and sockets in the UK. This standard includes features such as shutters on the neutral and line socket holes, as well as a fuse in the plug. It was introduced in 1947 for electrical wiring in the UK after the war.
Many former British colonies and protectorates have also adopted this standard. The BS 1363 plug and socket replaced the older BS 546 version, which can still be found in some older installations or specific applications. In the IEC 60083 standard, BS 1363 plugs are classified as Type G. In the UK and Ireland, this system is commonly referred to as a "13 AMP plug" or a "13 AMP socket".
British Standard Wall Switch Socket History
In 1941, Lord Reith, who was then the Minister of Works and Planning, formed committees to investigate issues that would impact the reconstruction of Britain after the war. One of these committees, known as the Electrical Installations Committee, was responsible for studying all aspects of electrical installations in buildings. Dame Caroline Haslett, the President of the Women's Engineering Society, Director of the Electrical Association for Women, and an expert in home safety, was a member of this committee. The committee was convened in 1942 and presented its findings in 1944 as part of a series of studies on post-war building that guided the reconstruction efforts.
As a result of one of the recommendations in the committee's report, the plug and socket-outlet system defined in BS 1363 was established. Prior to the war, Britain used a combination of round pin sockets with different amperage ratings, such as 2A, 5A, and 15A. In an appendix to the main report in July 1944, the committee suggested adopting a completely new socket-outlet design that included a fuse in the plug to protect the appliance's flexible cord. This new design was proposed as the universal standard for domestic use.
The main report outlined eight key factors to consider when designing the new standard. The first point emphasized the importance of ensuring safety for individuals.
Another suggestion in the report was the implementation of the ultimate loop circuit system (commonly known as a "ring main"). In this setup, a cable is connected to a fuse or circuit breaker in the distribution board and then wired sequentially to multiple sockets before returning to the distribution board, creating a complete loop circuit. In this loop circuit, each socket receives power from conductors on both sides of the loop. This is different from the radial circuit system (also used in the UK, sometimes in the same installation) where a single cable runs out from the distribution board to serve multiple sockets, like spokes on a wheel. Since the fuse or circuit breaker for a loop circuit must be able to handle the maximum current that the loop can carry (30A or 32A for a breaker), additional protection is needed at each socket-plug connection. In theory, this protection could be incorporated either within the socket or the plug. However, to ensure that the protection is suitable for the appliance's flexible cord attached to the plug, a fuse with a rating between 1A and 13A is included in the circuit.
