3 phase PAT adaptors

[Patman]

Surely 110v 16A plug & socket are single phase, therefore your extension leads made up with these are tested as a "230v" extension -except in 110v mode.

yes, that's how my test leads are made, 13A Plug to 110v 16A socket L-L, N-N, E-E but the point I was trying to get over was that in the 3PH test plugs they have removed the live so you can't attempt to power a 3PH device from a single phase but in a ready made 110v test lead do they do the same because you could plug a 110v appliance into the test lead and give it 240V.

my test leads are clearly marked up for PAT only and I wouldn't let anyone else use them but the danger is still there.
