 Outlets allow alternating current appliances to be safely connected and disconnected. Outlet design varies between countries, but the overall concept remains is the same for most residential circuits: there are either two pins (a circuit) or three pins (a circuit plus ground). As outlet designs vary between countries, the proper method for wiring and installing outlets will vary.
