sollysta Unique Safety Shutter
BS 1363 Socket Outlets
One of the fundamental requirements of the 17th Edition is to provide basic protection against electric shock.Socket outlets have apertures for plug pins and therefore will have a shutter mechanism that prevents access to live parts unless the earth pin is also present and has been inserted first.
This however can be either intentionally or inadvertently defeated by inserting something into the earth pin aperture.
All sollysta sockets have a unique patented shutter system that not only requires the earth pin to be inserted first, but the simultaneous insertion of the live and neutral pins as well, before the shutter mechanism is activated.
This enhances the safety by making it more difficult to defeat the mechanism and therefore reducing the risk of electric shock.
