    Klik plug and sockets

    Klik plugs are rated at 6 amp with 075mm flex. But I have seen them used on 10 amp breakers in shops and the like with the plug in Rose's and with the Marshallling boxs? How does that work if the plug is only 6 amp Is it due to the flex length being so short or something else?
