    Fun fact, the only reason North America can get away with our dinky plugs and sockets is because we only run 120V. Anything here that’s 240V will have a much beefier plug and socket, more similar to the UK plugs. Heres a 240V/30A and a 240V/50A.

      Conductor size is about current, not voltage, so I would expect 120V plugs to be bigger as they need to be rated yo 20A to be as useful as typical 240V/10A plugs.

      Australia/NZ style plugs are much smaller than (and IMO superior to) the UK plugs despite both being 240V/10A
