Every electrical socket has a different lost rating. If you look closely on the sockets yoke you will either find the rating or a NEMA number. If you find a NEMA number you will have to referance the NEMA chart.

What is the function of a 13 A Switch Socket Outlet?
It enables you to switch off the load from the socket, rather than have to pull the plug out of the socket.
What Intel processor socket uses a screw head to hold down the socket load plate?
LGA1155
Which Intel processor socket uses a screw head to hold down the socket load plate?
LGA1155
How much voltage is in a socket?
The voltage in a socket can be any voltage that you want. The load that connects into the socket must be stated. Without this information the question can not be answered.
How many watts are in 13A switch socket outlet using 220 v?
Watts from a socket is dependant upon what the load connected draws. The maximum capacity from a socket is calculated by the following equation, W = A x V. So the maximum wattage you are able to draw from the socket before the fuse blows is W = 13 x 220 = 2860.
Why the earthing pin of a socket in eletrical appliances is long and thick?
At very first the load to be EARTHED before polarities to protect the load and human being
What is the function of switch socket?
It allows you to disconnect the load without having to unplug the flexible cable.
How many strings of LED Christmas Lights can be plugged into one outlet and is it more than with the old incandescent lights?
you need to work out the total load of all the strings,then what is the safe load that the socket can take
A technician is installing a new CPU in a zif socket on a motherboard what is the primary way of securing the CPU in place?
Pressing the Load Lever
What is the Difference between radial connection and ring connection of socket outlet?
In a radial circuit you wire 3 cables (live/hot, neutral and earth) from the board to the first socket, and then loop these cables on from socket to socket till you get to the last socket and you are finished.In a ring circuit, the is an additional set of cables from the last socket back to the board. This increases the load that can be put on the circuit.In my country (Ireland) this is generally not in practice any more, and most circuits are radial circuits.
Is it safe to plug in a 15A dimmer pack into a standard 13A socket?
No it is not safe because it may be possible that the load 15 A may take grater than 15 amp and your socket and wiring may burn or damage.so i will say that use 20 amp socket it will safe for your device and also for your wiring connection.
Why the diameter of earth pin is greater than phase and neutral in socket?
It is important and necessary to insert the right pins into right, correct hole of the socket. Larger diameter earth pin ensures that even by error pins are not inserted wrongly. It is not only larger in dia but also bit longer in length so that the earth pin makes the first contact with earth point before phase pin makes the contact to ensure safety.
