A power socket is a device that allows electrical appliances to connect to the electrical supply in a building. It typically consists of one or more openings where a plug can be inserted. Power sockets are commonly found in homes, offices, and public spaces, providing a convenient way to power devices like lamps, computers, and kitchen appliances. Power sockets come in various types and designs, depending on the country and electrical standards. They are often mounted on walls and can be either single or multiple outlets. Safety features, such as fuses and circuit breakers, are sometimes integrated to prevent electrical hazards.
