Literally they had one job. This has a schuko plug sized receptacle but with Italian plug size holes. So it can convert from Italian 10A plug to Italian 10A plug… really useful…
Producing who know how many millions of useless converters and shipping them in a different continent without trying them or even reading the specs…
Yes but the electrical code allows this kind of converter if there’s a label like “1500W max” because most manufacturers are lazy and don’t ship a cable for the Italian market, they give the cable for the German market. So you have stuff like:
That consume like 2-3 A at max but for the manufacturer it was cheaper to ship the German 16A plug and fuck with all the Italians that have the houses with 10A receptacles
Checks notes: so TIL that euro plugs and sockets are not standard‽
Yes basically every European country and Swiss has its own plug standard
