Hi Doug:
The French, Belgian, and Schuko domestic connectors are non-polarized. The British, North American, South Africa, some Japan domestic connectors are polarized. Some domestic connectors in Norway and many in Japan have no PE. Wikipedia discusses the various plugs and sockets, polarization, and earthing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_power_plugs_and_sockets See the table near the end for both polarization and earthing. Appliance couplers are polarized in North America, but not elsewhere. Best regards, Rich From: Doug Powell <doug...@gmail.com> Sent: Friday, February 22, 2019 9:48 AM To: EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG Subject: [PSES] Type F receptacle wiring All, I am searching for wiring information for the TYPE E CEE7/5, 250 Volt, 16 Amp receptacle for France and Belgium. The earth pin is obvious and for some reason, I am unable to find information on the correct pins for Line and Neutral. The receptacle has no makings to this effect. One resource even says the left/right orientation is interchangeable since neutral is considered as live. The best I can find indicates neutral is on the left when viewing the reception from the front. True?
