What is meant by gangs and poles on a plug socket?
Gangs refer to the number of sockets on a particular outlet - the more gangs, the more sockets available for use.
Poles, on the other hand, refer to the number of wires that can be connected to each socket. A 1-pole socket can accommodate a single wire, whereas a 2-pole socket can handle two wires.
Can I convert a plug socket from one style to another?
Yes. This might involve changing the faceplate or even rewiring, depending on the type of conversion. Always ensure that the new socket type is compatible with your electrical system, including voltage and amperage requirements.
