1. A set of outlets comprising:

  • an electrical plug and an electrical socket adapted for electrical work are configured to be connected to each other in a detachable manner;

    the electrical plug including at least two concentric electrical tracks configured to respectively annularly cooperate with at least two movable electrical contacts of the electrical socket;

    magnetic means generating a first control force for positioning and holding the electrical plug on the electrical socket so that the at least two concentric electrical tracks are respectively in contact with the electrical contacts of the electrical socket;

    the at least two movable electrical contacts of the electrical socket are movable between a first position inside the electrical socket and a second position such that end surfaces of the at least two movable electrical contacts extend beyond an outside side surface of the electrical socket that contacts the electrical plug, the at least two movable electrical contacts are configured to be respectively in direct electrical contact with the electrical tracks of the electrical plug, the first control force being capable of moving the electrical contacts between the first position and the second position; and

    shutter means to move from a closed position to an open position under action of the first control force to pass the electrical contacts from the first position to the second position, the shutter means being pushed to the open position by contact with the electrical contacts as the electrical contacts move from the first position to the second position,wherein the shutter means respectively comprises two sealing flaps, each sealing flap being connected to a closing spring.
