Is it possible to connect phase to phase?
phases actually appear in an outlet?
?
Yes, this is possible, but various electrical appliances and light bulbs can burn out, since the
between different
phases
is 380 volts. The reason for this may be a short circuit of one of the phases that travel along the overhead line to the neutral wire.

What types of childproof sockets are there?
Sockets with current protection have different shapes and characteristics, but the main goal is the safe supply of electricity and the safety of the baby.
Manufacturers make devices that are difficult to notice and their appearance differs from regular outlets.
Security key plug
The plug that is inserted into the socket has several functions:
- Child protection.
- Protection from moisture and dust.
It is often made of plastic; specimens made of silicone are less common. The device is designed in such a way that an adult inserts the plug and, after turning it with a special small key, it sits firmly inside, and the little one cannot pick it out.
Such plugs have both advantages and disadvantages. Advantages:
- relatively low cost, which is often determined by the manufacturer and the quality of the material used;
- ease of installation and use if necessary;
- it is worth making the effort to pick out the necessary part;
- protects the outlet not only from children, but also from dust and dirt;
- Children cannot insert narrow and long appliances into a socket with a turned cap; it blocks and covers the holes for phase and neutral.
Flaws:
- if the quality of the plastic is low, then such a plug poses a fire hazard, so when choosing the required model, you should be guided by quality certificates from the manufacturer; you should not buy cheap options from China;
- an older person, who is able to find suitable devices and narrow devices, can open the plug in some time;
- a parent who forgot the key or did not turn it, dooms the child to danger.
Sockets with rotating mechanism
The rotating mechanism of the protective device is simple, in comparison with the version on the key, it allows you to apply the protective mode in one movement. The advantages of such a device are that when an adult turns on the plug, it turns and it fits into the desired holes. After the plug is no longer needed for use, you need to pull it out a little and turn the rotating mechanism of the plug back to the reverse position.
They provide protection using a conventional latch, but when choosing, you should pay attention to the following features:
- quality of material, strength of plastic;
- dimensions - the plug must fit firmly and tightly into the desired hole, if it “walks”, the child will easily open the socket;
- The cost of a product from a reliable manufacturer cannot be low.
There is a possibility that the plug will break or get lost, and therefore it is important to buy several spare devices for special situations. One day without protection increases the risk of death for a child.
Curtains
The option with internal curtains is notable for the fact that it ensures safety and minimizes risks. Here are several modifications of such a device:
- overhead curtains;
- internal curtains, which are sold together with the socket block;
- rotating curtains with opening to the side or up, down;
- open when pressed.
Additionally, such a device can provide protection from moisture and dust.
If a child has learned to open the protection, it is worth changing it. Even a simple change of modification or rotation option (previously there were open protections on the right, and when replaced - on the left), will protect the baby from negative consequences.
How to ensure effective protection?
Be as careful as possible in your choice, because not everything may actually be safe. First you need to understand the mechanism of the plug structure.

The most common option looks like a regular flat plug, with two plastic pins built into it. It does not conduct electricity and is safe. If all sockets have such plugs, and the child cannot get this plug out of there, then he is completely protected from accidental electric shock. Such plugs are quite cheap: 150-200 rubles for a set of 10 pieces, and their installation takes seconds.
