    110v v 230v tools

    Hi Guys, Working in shops and offices. Company is insisting using 110v tools and where possible, battery equipment. I would have thought that 230v + 30mA RCd would be more than safe. Believe that the 17th edition relaxed the rules on 110v tools (55-0-55) Your thoughts gents please.

    Plug socket type on construction site?

    BGB (section 704) states that plug sockets on a construction site if over 16A must be commando type. Thats the only mention of sockets I can find, can I assume that 1363 sockets can be used in a temporary office area (probably a porter-cabin) that is generally waterproof etc? Thanks.
