What you may know as a power point is technically referred to as a 'socket outlet'. It's also less commonly referred to as a GPO, which stands for 'General Purpose Outlet' or 'General Power Outlet', depending on who you ask. The term 'GPO' is used in America (and therefore appears quite a lot online), but the term's outdated throughout the rest of the world.

​

Socket outlets are available in many different styles, and can only be installed or maintained by an electrician. We share the three-pin power point / socket outlet with New Zealand, Fiji and Argentina. The flat blades measure 6.5 by 1.6 mm and are set at 30° to the vertical at a nominal pitch of 13.7 mm. Wall sockets are almost always equipped with manual switches to provide additional safety. Power points have three pins, including a ground or earth pin.
