Abstract
A socket outlet (100A; 100B; 100C; 100D) presenting given intrinsic characteristics so as to be suitable for delivering continuously, and without being damaged, an electrical signal that presents a determined maximum current, includes identification elements (130A; 130B; 130C; 130D) that are adapted to communicate or to co-operate with an electric plug (200A; 200B; 200C; 200D) so as to generate a pilot signal that is representative of the maximum current of the electrical signal that can be delivered by the socket outlet without being damaged. An electric plug and an electrical assembly are also described.
