13A socket
Sockets · Also: Thirteen amp socket, BS 1363 socket
In short
The standard UK/Singapore household plug rating — almost every home power point is 13A.
Notes
Singapore uses the British BS 1363 system. A normal wall power point is rated 13 amps. That is why plugs have a fuse inside and three rectangular pins.
Do not confuse the socket rating with the circuit rating. A 13A socket may sit on a 20A or 32A circuit breaker depending on how the DB is designed.
