15 AMP EXTENSION LEADS

Ah Mark I am licensed to Disconnect and to Connect, when I play
around with Hotties, (plumbers speak for Hot Water Systems)
haven't burnt any houses down yet lol.

DAZA

no wonder the hotties are discoloured when ya leave........ya dunk ya tea bags in em'.


hahahahahahahah

Daza, do you have a megger

Daza,

What does 'The Cook' think of you playing around with Hotties?

Matt.

The Cook hasn't got a worry, she knows that any Hotty I touch, is
either burnt out, worn out, rusted out, and it will probably be
thrown out, and replaced with a new one, I know what your
getting at, the other type of Hotty would take one look at me,
and ask how much do I charge to Haunt A House lol, I recently
had my left ear relocated and I look like Shreks Father lol lol.

Yes you are so right, it's good to unwind when you go away lol lol.
I agree you have to make sure they fully wound out.

The wife got caught with that some years ago - a 25 metre 15 A cable - the cable was 1.5 squ mm but the plugs were 10 A. In the old scheme of things 1.5 mm2 cable was labelled "15 A" but now you are expected to know what size cable will have a maximum of 3% voltage drop over its length.

This link gives the maximum length of lead you can construct a 15 A lead from various different size cable. You may note that you can build a 15 A lead from what was considered 10 A cable in lengths up to 10 metres.

Do I remember correctly that real 15A plugs have a thicker earth pin, and therefore won't fit into a 10A socket?

Cheers, John

Yes John you are correct a 15A lead does have a heavy duty earth, but nothing an angle grinder can't fix LOL [just kidding]
Don't try this at home boys and girls

YES you are correct, thicker,& wider,it will not fit into a 10amp plug thats to prevent overloading the 10amp plug & possibly wiring.
