  1. What Is a 3 Gang Socket? A 3 gang socket is an electrical outlet with three outlets. It is commonly used in kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms. The functions and features of this type of socket are discussed in this article. Also, you will learn about its size. This electrical outlet has two earth terminals, which make it safer to use. It also features a 13-amp fuse, which will protect all three outlets.

  2. Three-Gang Electrical Socket Three-gang electrical sockets have two or more pins. These sockets can be wall or bench-mounted and can be used for two different kinds of electrical equipment. They are often black or white in colour. They have a depth of approximately 25mm. To ensure proper function, the sockets should have a fuse in them. To properly install 3 Gang Sockets, follow the instructions on the packaging. Generally, the size and shape of sockets are determined by the British Standard 1363. All homes in the UK must have at least 13A fused plugs. The sockets should also have two-pole earthing pins. Three-gang electrical sockets are the most common type of socket.

  4. These sockets come with different types of fuses: three A fuses with a timer that runs for nine seconds, three A fuses for twenty- five minutes, and three A fuses for thirty seconds. Some sockets feature an integrated switch, but these were not included in the original standard until 1967. It has two contacts on its face: a neutral contact on the left side and a line contact on the right. These sockets are often available in black, or with a white or black faceplate. They can be bench or wall-mounted, and their average depth is 25 mm. Choosing the right socket is essential for your safety, so always choose one that matches the plug you're using. Functions A 3 Gang Socket has multiple functions and can be used in a variety of applications. The "gang" designation refers to the number of switches and receptacles on the plate. A gang socket can have multiple receptacles of the same type, allowing more users to control lighting in a specific area. It is not common to see a three-gang socket in a domestic setting.

  5. Size The size of a 3 gang socket can be determined by checking the dimensions of its outlets. Typically, outlet openings are 1-5/16" h and 2-1/2" wide.
