The plugs and sockets used to power [[electric stove]]s from a single-phase line have to be rated for greater current values than those used with three-phase supply because all the power has to be transferred through two contacts, not three. If not hardwired to the supply, electric stoves may be connected to the mains with an appropriate high power connector. Some countries do not have wiring regulations for single-phase electric stoves. In Russia, an electric stove can often be seen connected with a 25 or 32&nbsp;A connector.

In Norway, a 25[[AC power plugs and sockets: British and related types#BS 4573 (UK shaver)|&nbsp;]]A grounded connector, rectangular shaped with rounded corners, is used for single-phase stoves.{{Citation needed|date=June 2024}} The connector has three rectangular pins in a row, with the grounding pin longer than other two. The corresponding socket is recessed to prevent shocks. The Norwegian standard is NEK&nbsp;502:2005 – standard sheet X (socket) and sheet XI (plug). They are also known as the two pole and earth variants of CEE&nbsp;7/10 (socket) and CEE&nbsp;7/11 (plug).
