Advantages and disadvantages of ceramic outlets
Despite the large number of positive qualities of plastic, sockets made of ceramics are considered the best option for installation in the house.
Ceramic sockets have the following distinctive operational qualities:
Sockets having a ceramic base have a higher load threshold. This indicator means that these sockets can work with higher current values. However, it is necessary to ensure the necessary thickness of the electric cable in accordance with the increase in the load. It is worth noting that these outlets are recommended to be installed in the kitchen.
Ceramic sockets provide for the installation of a copper wire with a cross section of 2 millimeters, which increases durability.
Plastic sockets operate at a load of not more than 1.5 kW, and ceramic have a different threshold of load size, which can exceed this indicator several times.
Ceramics are resistant to open fire. This means that during a short circuit there will not be melting the outlet from high temperature.
Despite this, it is quite difficult to find a ceramic outlet in residential premises.
