I read carefully BS7671, 17th ed., 521.9 and guidance note 1, Table F3 and F5, and no where does it say that flexible cords, such as HO7RN-F can not be used for fixed installations. I hear that was not allowed in the 15th edition but long since allowed. Am I missing something?
Hi guys, does anyone have one or have used one and what are opinions on it? I like the idea of leaving the module in place and getting a full range of current readings over the course of a week.

Dear Forum....
My kettle connects to the mains via a 3-core 0.75mm^2 flexible cable that is about 75cm long. This was the cable that came with the kettle.
The power rating of the kettle is from 1800-2200 Watts, which means it is drawing between 7.8 and 9.6 amps (using nominal voltage of 230V)...
