Maybe Paul Daniels has got one of these babies up his sleeve?

I've worked in IT departments and IT companies, large and small.Most larger companies and schools IT departments will usually have a large box of spare ones - with Shuko plugs on the other end that would have come with all the computers and monitors.
So what PPE do you wear when wiring a plug at home?So what PPE do you wear when wiring a plug?I am required to wear gloves when working with hand or power tools or when lifting or carrying.
I've just told you!
I've been trying to think of a way to demo the analogy with a reservoir whose height can be adjusted (voltage), showing more water coming out of a tube (current) - so far so good, but to use a tube with a very low pressure rating, such that you can burst it easily (current carrying capacity).try to explain Amps in terms of water passing through a bigger pipe, you get more flow, even if the pressure (volts) are the same.
. . . tumble-drier takes the same Amps as a small appliance like a kettle, but far less than a radio or a table lamp or a big TV . . .

Can't think of a way to make such a tube.

You MUSTIt is imperative
become live and dangerousthat you make the moulded plug safe once removed so it cannot be reinserted into a socket and re-energised.
holesTo do this, with heavy pliers, bend each of the pins so they no longer line up with the apertures
on the socket.
Counterfeit Plugs:
There are some counterfeit plugs available on the internet which, despite being marked “BS1363”, are not manufactured to any standard. They have plastic sleeving on the earth pin as well as the live and neutral pins. They are highly dangerous and should be SAFELY disposed of, as above.[/color]
