Company Summary
It has been more than 100 years since the invention of the electrical "3-prong plug"; a standard electricity delivery device still used worldwide today. Newly patented Canadian invention completely changes this. The technology itself is called "VoltSafe" and eliminates the need for prongs by utilizing magnetic actuation. The result is: no chance of accidental electrocution or other safety concerns, convenient connecting and disconnect of plugs.
