    Unusual Electrical Stuff

    First, a old plug that I got with a Nikon Labophot 2A microscope. As seen from the picture below, the pins on it are stamped/pressed! Has anyone seen this before, and did it comply with BS1363 when it was made? The plug is a two part sealed and non serviceable hard plastic plug. (Yes I cleaned...

    20A BS1362 Fuses!

    Link's below, anyone fancy buying them and testing to see what current on average they fail at. Now I knew there were dangerous and non compliant 15A BS1362 style fuses on the market, but now we seem to have 20A rated BS1362 style fuses to! :D...

    Skirting Board Wedges (plugs)

    Picked these up at a local corner shop. Never heard of Dissmann, but I guess there's many makers of compliant (and certainly not compliant) BS1362 fuses. What's your opinion on the Fuses below? Possible knock-off clone of Bussmann fuses? 1 by eveares posted 11 Sep 2016 at 9:47 PM 2 by eveares...

    Cooker Isolator with two 20+ Amp outlets?

    Just got my self a Electrolux Built in combi microwave oven that has a connected load of 3000W. It is going along side my existing 3.5KW Electrolux steam oven. While a 13A BS1362 fuse will just about take this 3000W Load, the manual is ambiguous. On one hand it says; What suggests it has to...

    Plug to Socket Extension with no Earth!

    Just seen a video from a fairly big UK based YouTuber, who went to Home Base to get a some bits to make up an extension lead socket. Shame he picked the 2 core 0.75mm² flex. Not sure if he know's he has not earthed it or not or the safety implications of what he has done? Video Below, see...

    Fused moulded plug to IEC with no replaceable fuse!?

    Just bought a Foscam IP camera (FI9853EP) along with a Foscam PSE15 POE injector that I am going to install at my grandparents.

    Washing machine or wall socket - cutting out electrics

    Apologies if this is amateur to the extreme and not particularly clear. Arrived home, electric had gone out.

    Plugging plug in backwards in a trailing socket.

    Anyone care to repeat this, guess my trailing socket and/or plug must be defective. Not that much force was applied. Socket has got PMS 9128 written on it, plug has PMS 9248 written on it if any help for identifying the brands.
