Latvia Receptacles, Outlets, Sockets
RECEPTACLES, OUTLETS, SOCKETS
Latvia uses Type F receptacles, outlets and sockets. Type F electrical receptacles used in Latvia are manufactured to the CEE 7/3 standard and are commonly referred to as Schuko receptacles. The Latvia CEE 7/3 receptacle, rated 16 amps 250 volts, features a grounding contact on both the top and bottom sides of the electrical outlet to ensure grounded connections with Type F CEE 7/4, CEE 7/7 plugs. General use Latvia receptacles are not polarized and typically IP20 weatherproof rated however versions are manufactured with shuttered contacts and sealed closure cap covers that reach IP44, IP54, IP55, IP66 and IP68. The IP rating or Ingress Protection code is the level of protection an electrical receptacle outlet or socket maintains against intrusion of dust and water. To maintain a specific IP rating in your application the appropriate IP rated Type F Latvia plug must be used in conjunction with the same IP rated receptacle outlet.

Type F schuko receptacle outlets are manufactured in a variety of color choices. Common Latvia electrical receptacle colors are white, red, green, blue, gray, black, magnesium and ivory. Red receptacle outlets are usually installed to identify clean electricity with dedicated surge protection and filtered electrical power being supplied at the socket outlet. Red receptacles can also be produced to incorporate an internal guard mechanism that makes the outlet tamper resistant. Green receptacle outlets are utilized to identify isolated ground circuits. Blue color receptacle outlets, from a visual standpoint, can quickly identify some level of IP weatherproof protection on a device however weatherproof IP rated devices are not limited to blue color and are produced in all colors.

Type F GFCI, RCBO receptacle outlets and sockets for use in Latvia are produced in both 10mA or 30mA GFCI trip protection levels. 10mA trip level provides quickest trip protection from accidental shock in wet indoor and outdoor areas. 30mA trip level devices are also suitable protection and are installed in commercial and industrial applications to avoid nuisance tripping.
