Re: Power supplies and sockets

To answer my own question:

"It is worth noting that the combination of a Type C, E or F plug with a
Type D socket may often be workable, however it is unsafe to use."
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_electricity_by_country)

So it looks like these would be correct:

Can somebody with experience please link to the kind of adapter needed
for EU plugs? AFAIK the plug we use is CEE 7/7 (no letter-type but
should fit type E or F sockets). I have no idea whether these work with
the socket in Gunnars picture (is that type D? BS546?).

Thank you.

I'm aware that India uses three standards, types C D and M. Are all
three
in common use across the country, or do some regions use each one?


Generally, Type C and Type D plugs are more common.


Are the triple-standard sockets seen in
https://people.debian.org/~gwolf/DC23_Kochi/IMG_1318.JPG common?
Which do
the conference venue and accomodation provide?


These are not as commons as the standard sockets specific to each
type. But
you may find them in hotels, airports, and some tourist destinations or
major cities. Our accommodation mostly has these triple standard
sockets.
I'm sure about the main venue (Infopark) someone else from the local
team
could clarify this


You will find (almost?) exclusively this kind of sockets in the hotel,
which is good news for all foreign travellers. I don't recall whether
it was also the case for Infopark (the main auditorium will be there,
~5min away from the hotel), but in all of the rooms, auditoriums and
public places in the Four Points Sheraton, this is the only kind of
socket I saw.
