Mass edit reversion
Hi, recently, you reverted most of my grammatical corrections in which I added commas to incorrectly punctuated lists, stating that they were used “inappropriately”, however, they are used completely correctly based on the context (source: https://www.cu-portland.edu/sites/default/files/pdf/Comma%20Usage%20Rules.pdf), so it would be greatly appreciated if you could restore the edits yourself since I don’t have the time to manually restore them at the moment, thanks.

10 A unearthed variants of type I plug?
Hi Low power, regarding your recent addition to AC power plugs and sockets: Are you sure that the 2024 revision of the Chinese standard has introduced such an unearthed variant with dummy pin also for 10 A? Oder versions of the standard already had them, but only for the bigger 16 A plugs. Gawaon (talk) 14:09, 15 January 2026 (UTC)
- Yes, I have quoted the relative context of from the GB 1002-2024 in the reference. Low power (talk) 14:18, 15 January 2026 (UTC)
- It was previously specified only for the 16 A variant, in GB 1002-2008, but in GB 1002-2024, it applies to both 10 A and 16 A variants. Low power (talk) 14:22, 15 January 2026 (UTC)
- Interesting! Apologies for reverting you first, I just wanted to make sure that no false information slips in. Now, since I don't have access to versions of the standard after 2008, could you explain the following: (A) The new unearthed plug without dummy pin, does it exist for 10 A, 16 A, or both? (B) How does this plug work with sockets that require an earth pin to open the shutters, as the beginning of our paragraph says? Is such a locking mechanism now no longer allowed? Gawaon (talk) 02:55, 16 January 2026 (UTC)
- (A) The plug variants description in newer revisions no longer limit to 16 A plug only; it instead applies to 'figure 3', which defined the dimensions of the type I plug of both 10 A and 16 A variants.
- (B) For unearched type I plugs without the earch pin, GB 1002-2024 says such plugs will not be accepted by sockets with earch-pin-driven shutter. Low power (talk) 03:07, 16 January 2026 (UTC)
- I see, thanks! I have now further edited the text, trying to make it clearer and to improve the reading flow. If I made a mistake, feel free to correct me or let me know here. Gawaon (talk) 03:20, 16 January 2026 (UTC)
- As for B, that makes these unearthed two-pin plugs a bit useless, I'd say? Assuming, at least, that earth-pin-driven shutters are fairly widespread. But I guess that's for the standardization organization to resolve. Gawaon (talk) 03:21, 16 January 2026 (UTC)
- Yes, sockets with earth-pin-driven shutters are pretty commin in China, but also as the ones with
- live-pins-driven shutters; these are the most commonly sold types. Sockets with no shutter at all are available too, but is less common.
- I guess the latest standard is trying to improve the compatibility with unearthed AS/NZS 3112 plugs. Low power (talk) 03:33, 16 January 2026 (UTC)
- Interestingly enough that the GB 1002-2024 actually listed AS/NZS 3112:2017 as a reference, which hasn't be seen in previous revisions.
- Along with the increased pin thinness and insulation requirements, I think GB 1002-2024 is a step further in complete compatibility with the Australasian 10 A plugs. Low power (talk) 06:14, 16 January 2026 (UTC)
- I see, interesting! What do you mean by increased pin thinness? Gawaon (talk) 06:15, 16 January 2026 (UTC)
- In GB 1002-2008, the required pin thinness for 10 A plug is 1.5 +0,-0.1 mm; while GB 1002-2024 has increased this value to 1.55 ±0.10 mm.
- For comparison, AS/NZS 3112:2004 requires 1.63 +0.15,-0.05 mm. Low power (talk) 07:52, 16 January 2026 (UTC)
- Well, I mean 'thickness', that sounds better. Low power (talk) 07:55, 16 January 2026 (UTC)
