Right ... Just been nudged to set this up by Paul.M and sounds a good idea following recent threads I've done in the Arms..

Rules....No Offensive material... edit if required before posting as this is the public arena.
Anything to do with the trade or in and around it ...H&S pic's welcome.



I've posted this a few times and this is at a mates house following a kitchen refirb several yrs ago. mg_smile:

@Julie. What's on the other side, is it just a EU two pin convertor?

Nope, it has no shutters either, in all respects it is a bag of dangerous ****

Will dig it out of the bin and photograph later!

Insulated CPC - to ensure no earth connection is made.
No shutters - to ensure a child/irresponsable adult can make contact
Undersized connections - to ensure overheating and fire potential
CE marking - to ensure it is obvious it is non compliant

I have no doubt the plastic is unsuitable along with a whole host of other things...

 

[static zap]

making sure we don't obtain continuity of the CPC!

But its shiny , and reminds me of a stack of NEW 1p s.
(just dated myself)
Wonder if they come Gold plated.

Lovely access to the live contacts, without all that bother with shutters.

It even does 13amp UK plug too 13amp UK plug what a find.

 

[Dustydazzler]

Is that the plug bottom ?

My elderly neighbour brought me this to see if I would recommend it for her travels to Spain...

and the top and bottom both had this...

I think she used it in Bermuda where her daughter lived for a while...but I took it from her and added it to my collection of "interesting stuff".

No, that’s a Scotland to England/Wales adaptor


Give Nicola half a chance, we might need something like that

And does what exactly?

High pressure water cutter. 3000 bar

 

[IAmSparkytus!]

Not a dodgy picture but found this amusing today. Funny how times have changed and this would have probably been quite a deterrent at the time. Any clue as to what the implications are of cutting them off now?

 

[Dustydazzler]

That label would just egg me on to cut off the tags just to see how long it takes for my £5 penalty letter to drop on the door mat

 

[Fazz711]

£5 probably a lot of money when that was new

Probably got a bit lucky here. Did Zdb and didn’t visually see what was going on, been testing Easy 9 boards this week so the line on the right didn’t really click with me. Turned the main switch on to do the RCD tests and my eyes caught how the cables were coming into the back of the board so I was wiggling round right next to the neutral bar, then I saw it ?.
