QUOTE(Haters_Gonna_H8 @ Jul 20 2013, 05:42 PM) haiya. actually wall socket all come from 1 wire. i usually extend my home's wall sockets by myself. quite easy actually. those direct to fuse box pon ada org buat. more for safety reasons. and more applicable for appliances that need more fuse amp like aircond, water heaters etc. ini pandai punya worang typical 1-phase power outlet will have at least 3 wires - LIVE, NEUTRAL & EARTH the power outlet current draw dictates the size of the wire needed a 3-phase socket will need 4 wire, a RED-, YELLOW-, BLUE- lines and a neutral line, hence it is always called TPN (Three Phase - Neutral) socket

QUOTE Q3 How many tap-off units are allowed on the track at any one time to tap power from the track? A3 The number of tap-off units is dependent on the total load current consumed at that point of time rather than the absolute number of tap-off units connected. Maximum load current available on the system is subjected to the rating of the MCB at the Distribution Board supplying to the final sub-circuit. In practice, the track can accommodate up to 12x adaptors or 18x plugs per metre run. Ratio of adaptor to plug is 2:3. this should answer it.. it's not the socket but rather the power/current used..per point
