Me and my cousin (Jonathan) had a blast meeting some fireman at the expense of a really bad electrical socket…

Thanks to HFD for coming to check it out… in full gear!

The Standards discussed and shown in this video are:

BS 1363 (13A),
BS 546 (15A) and…
BS EN 60309-2 (240v, 16A)
(otherwise known as BS 4343)

The convertor leads shown in the video are all home-made, by purchasing the relevent plug and connector, and three-core flex.

To ensure that the full load can be handled, THE MINIMUM SIZE of the flex should be 1.5mm, and because these are convertor leads, it is best to keep the length less than one metre. (approx 3ft)

This video is the last in the PLUGS mini-series.

But the acid test remains running a good old light bulb. This master electrician recommends using such a bulb and socket and not relying so much on electrical testers that are fooled by half-poor connections and phantom voltages.
