What kind of outlets do you all use in Andhra Pradesh?

lightmoment · Oct 1st, 2009, 00:33

Are they different in different places, mostly the same, I have tried to research this but I'm getting confused. Just need a straight answer. Thank you

Outlets for what?

If you are talking electricity, there is an Indian standard, and you can follow any of the existing threads with no confusion.

... Such as this one, in the Electronics etc. (sub-) forum: Electric Supply Pins Plugs Adapter etc explained.

Thank you. Have been doing research on here...I think I'm getting it. Will look at that link.

Nick-H · Oct 1st, 2009, 02:48

But what if she means Fried Chicken outlets?

Do we have any threads for that?

<crossposted... it was electrics, and she's happy with the link

Yes, I was thinking my favorite hardcore punk musical outlet could get a little tricky

ps That's OK Lightmoment (apt electrified name?

), hope it will help

That thread should, and I think as Nick confirmed that stuff is pretty much universal in India yes. Well, as with most things, I'd be surprised if in this field, too, she might not throw the odd surprise at you, but oh well, and all that.

Sorry, I live in the south, in US, we shorten everything. I just assumed all of India Mike would know what I was talking about.

machadinha · Oct 1st, 2009, 03:00

Heheh, no worries, do just carry on

Just the odd goofing around here, must be Wednesday night or something.

lightmoment · Oct 1st, 2009, 03:01

Wups. I just realized I shortend that sentence as well. I mean in the redneck states we shorten all sentences as much as we can. We literally don't shorten...you know, everything.

machadinha · Oct 1st, 2009, 03:07

LOL. On shortening any hassle with the electric supply: Last spring I observed some Indian road worker powering up his chainsaw by deftly throwing up its extended two live wires over some power lines

... Only in India, indeed

Nick-H · Oct 1st, 2009, 03:14

Sorry, lightmoment (Oh! I was having a light moment

) --- I think "outlets" in British English is more likely to mean "retail outlets", whereas we would say "sockets" for electricity.

But hey, I knew what you meant

Oh, and remember the voltage is different --- yours 110, ours 220.

lightmoment · Oct 1st, 2009, 03:15

Sounds easy enough to me, maybe I will try that. lol

It does in the US also. But, my spouse thinks that whatever she has been running through her mind should be patently obvious to all so she need not specify clearly what she is talking about
