    Will this work in the UK?

    Hi all, I am trying to buy a present for someone but it only appears to be for sale in the US. I can get it shipped over here to the UK but want to know if it will work?

    Using USA inbuilt fuses with UK kettle lead fuses compatibility question?

    I'm not an electrician, but I thought this would be the best place to ask this sort of thing. I have just recently purchased some professional Audio speakers from the US, but they are built for international use with a switch for 110v and 240v usage. My problem is that the IEC/kettle power...

    Wiring a kettle into the wall?

    Hi, is it possible to wire a kettle directly into the wall? (just a normal "put the kettle on and make a cuppa" kettle). My extractor hood and hob in my kitchen are both wired up this way (fused spurs), and my oven come to think of it, so I was just wondering if you could do the same with a...
