strictly speaking polish (and all slavic languages i think?) doesn't have a verb like "go". you have to specify, you can ride, drive, walk, sail, swim, roll and so on but you can't "go". that verb (which means "[there it] drives") would be usually used for land vehicles, for boats we'd use "płynie" ("swim", "sail", "flow" depending on context)
i understand that it's remnant from times when fusebox wasn't a thing and it was an attempt at protecting ring circuit, that's all. it makes little sense
Beginning with underwater swimming pool lights (1968) successive editions of the code have expanded the areas where GFCIs are required to include: construction sites (1974), bathrooms and outdoor areas (1975), garages (1978), areas near hot tubs or spas (1981), hotel bathrooms (1984), kitchen counter sockets (1987), crawl spaces and unfinished basements (1990), near wet bar sinks (1993), near laundry sinks (2005)[26], in laundry rooms (2014)[27] and in kitchens (2023)
american electrical code has so much of weird shit that would be illegal out there, it's dazzling. you can't get three-phase power as a regular customer, but you can as an industrial, but only as 480V interphase. there are like 7 different mains voltages available. it would be illegal in europe to come up with something like "high-leg delta" but it's a thing out there
fuse is in plug and accessible only when plug is disconnected
it's also a very weird thing because fuses are supposed to protect what is downstream of them. so effectively fuse in plug protects cord and appliance only, not the wires in the wall. there's breaker box for this
eastern block solution to copper shortages was to wire houses with aluminum instead of copper. this avoided all that bizarre bullshit that brits do, and in principle it's a good idea since aluminum is used for big time power distribution as well. this worked pretty well until it was noticed that under some conditions hot spots can form on connections over time, requiring replacement of connectors. it's still legal to use aluminum wires in some places, but copper is more common now
the only thing that would make a shred of sense would be reactive power from plugged but unused transformers and the like, and for this reason you should disconnect these when not in use. but the only loads of this type that matter are welders and such
at least in part it's an end result of decades of crud and tech debt, so to speak, accumulating in british power grid and home wiring. they do it this way because otherwise it won't be safe. continental euro home wiring usually has thicker wires, residual-current circuit breakers and no ring circuits so we get away without fuzes and switches, and with smaller plugs that don't become caltrops. sometimes we do have ring circuits kind of thing, but not in house wiring, instead it's in medium voltage distribution grid, and it's sized so that it can serve most of loads after single failure.
high time to reflash it then, what even is this bullshit
