It's either less than 15A, in which case a crappy little moulded shaver plug will do, or it's Serious Industrial Hardware with multiple phases (read: a 220V cooker or tumble drier).

Shaver sockets have a much lower electrical output than typical household plugs, making them safer should you get electrocuted. Shaver sockets are designed to prevent the risk of electrocution in the bathroom, but they're no longer just practical devices. With certain exceptions only the type with a transformer may be installed in a location containing a bath or shower. It is important to choose the correct rating of a usb wall socket to match the devices that you wish to connect otherwise the device may not connect or charge properly.Shaver sockets used to be designed for shavers only (see his picture above, note its got a shaver symbol and for use with shavers only), if used for charging toothbrushes over prolonged periods would overheat. This includes devices like shavers, electric toothbrush chargers and other small cosmetic electric devices.

A socket with usb is available with one or multiple USB connections so that many devices can be connected simultaneously. Except they haven't discovered the IEC industrial connectors either, so it's either those twistlock things, a random proprietary multipin connector that nobody else uses, or individual camlocks on each wire (what could possibly go wrong?

When I was a Penniless Student Oaf™, I used to use a euro plug to power my fairy lights from the UK shaver socket, thus circumventing the fascist rules about use of 4-way adaptor boards that weren't well hidden behind a computer. Whether with a transformer or without, shaver socket-outlets complying with the relevant British Standards accept only 2-pin reversible plugs of the kind normally fitted to an electric shaver, and are shuttered. Shavers require a low amount of electricity to charge, making them suitable to plug into the low voltage sockets. To further assure you of their quality, the majority of these shaver plug sockets come equipped with generous guarantees against manufacturing defects.c. The no-load output voltage is not to exceed 275 V and the difference between the no-load output voltage and the output voltage under load shall not exceed 20 % of the load output voltage. The term ‘shaver supply unit’ means: an accessory embodying a shaver transformer and one or more socket-outlets. ii), which does not allow a shaver socket-outlet conforming to BS 4573 to be installed in a bathroom. Given that there is almost always a socket for an anbaric datascope, however poorly socketed any hotel room may be, surely the canny traveller's first move on arrival is to unplug TV, then plug in suitable adaptor and 4 socket Electric String? The current limiting device operates within one hour at a current of 300 mA, and within one minute at a current of 500 mA.

The crack goes from a transformer fixing screw to the lower fixing hole which has a solid earth strap attached to it. You'll now find stunning small single and double shaver plug sockets in popular finishes such as polished chrome, black, and Georgian brass.This also means that they haven’t got the power to support electrical devices that pull a large amount of electricity.
