British BS3 power socket - Aluminium ring

A BS3 British socket, also known as a Type G or BS1363 socket, is the electrical standard used in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, and several Commonwealth countries. It is recognizable by its three rectangular pins arranged in a triangle. The Eubiq BS3 socket with aluminum ring is therefore designed to accept Type G plugs directly, without an adapter, making it an ideal solution if you use appliances imported from these countries or if you host an international clientele in your professional or hospitality spaces.

The principle is as simple as it is ingenious: simply position the socket at the desired location on your Eubiq rail, then turn it a quarter-turn clockwise to lock it into place. A click confirms that the socket is securely fastened. To move or remove it, simply turn it a quarter-turn in the opposite direction. No tools are required. This flexibility is particularly appreciated in modular workspaces, meeting rooms, or hospitality environments where power needs change regularly. The socket is compatible with all Eubiq rails, whether they are surface-mounted, recessed into furniture, or fixed under a table.

The integrated switch allows you to cut power to the socket without having to unplug your device. This is a very practical feature for limiting standby power consumption and extending the lifespan of your equipment. The blue LED acts as a visual power indicator: as soon as the socket is powered, it lights up discreetly to signal this at a glance. Very useful when multiple sockets are installed side by side on the same rail, it prevents any confusion and ensures immediate control of your installations.

No, these two solutions meet different needs. A British-to-French plug adapter is an occasional accessory that is temporarily plugged into an existing European socket to connect a Type G device. The Eubiq BS3 socket is a permanent and stylish installation, rail-mounted, which directly accepts British plugs without an intermediary. It is intended for those who wish to provide a fixed, elegant, and durable solution — in a hotel, upscale office, furnished apartment, or luxury residence — rather than a simple temporary adapter.

The Eubiq BS3 socket is rated for a maximum current of 13 amps at a voltage of 220 to 250 volts, which corresponds to a maximum power of approximately 3,250 watts. This level is more than sufficient to power the vast majority of everyday devices: laptops, monitors, lamps, chargers, small appliances, or even audiovisual equipment. You can therefore use it with complete peace of mind in an office, hospitality, or residential context without fearing overload for standard use.

No, this socket is intended exclusively for dry indoor use. With an IP20 protection rating, it offers no resistance to humidity, water splashes, or outdoor weather conditions. Installing it in a bathroom, a kitchen exposed to steam, or an open-air space would therefore be inadvisable and potentially dangerous. However, it is perfectly suited for an office, bedroom, hotel suite, conference room, or any other well-ventilated and dry interior space.

The Eubiq BS3 socket with aluminum ring is sold individually, without cable or rail. It is designed to be mounted on an Eubiq rail that you have already installed or that you will purchase separately. Before your purchase, we invite you to verify that you have a compatible Eubiq rail. Furthermore, the installation of the rail itself must be entrusted to a qualified electrician to ensure the compliance and safety of your electrical installation.
