1. Why CEE system?

The blue CEE plug connections can be used throughout Europe for the single-phase 230 volt AC mains. CEE plug connections are of a higher technical quality than the plug connections normally used in domestic installations.
They are characterised by the following features:
=> Larger contact surfaces and higher contact pressure
=> Permanent current carrying capacity up to 16 amps
=> Reverse polarity protection (compared to Schuko)
=> Mechanical protection of the contact pins
=> Protection against unintentional disconnection of the plug-in connection by locking mechanism
=> International standardisation
=> Due to precise specification of the materials to be used, no inferior goods
=> Protection class IP44, the plug connections can be used outdoors
(IP44 = Protected against solid foreign bodies with a diameter ≥ 1.0 mm and protection against splash water on all sides)

For higher AC currents, larger and more resilient versions of the blue CEE connectors can be used. However, 32 A versions are very rarely in demand and 63 A or 125 A types are absolute rarities.
