Teaser for the Newbies...

[Darkwood]

Not for the experienced here a teaser only for the apprentice and newly qualified.

I have a jet wash with manufacturer supplied with a 230v 16amp 3pin blue industrial trailer plug on it, my problem is that the socket outlet i have is 32amp thus the plug won't fit.

Question - can i simply change the plug from 16amp to 32amp .... the flex is 3core 1.5mm.

Answer and reasoning please no simple Yes or No!

 

[telectrix]

i refuse to answer this on the grounds that it may make me look a pratt.! :troll:

 

[Silly Sausage]

Haha...me too!
I think it's just a clever ruse by DW to find the answer to a question he daredn't ask!

 

[Darkwood]

You know it aint for you Tel but would be interested to see you answer as its a good question which has the ability to make you question your own thoughts

 

[Darkwood]

Ill give you all the full correct answer as i expect many conflicting answers from the newbies so it would be silly of me to ask the inexperienced to mask a issue i didn't know myself.... :smug2: .... it seems though i may have got a few more older grey cells twitching amongst you lol

DW can't wait for some A's.I will say yes and no will give my reasoning but will hold back for now lol.

 

[Darkwood]

Come on lads/lasses get some bold guessing done its not to demoralize you as i chose the nature of the question to even have the pro questioning their knowledge.

 

[telectrix]

i done it by pm so i'd not look a ----- on open forum.

 

[Silly Sausage]

I'd buy something...

 

[stuartcourt]

I was going for a NO as thought if changed then you would have a 16 amp machine running on 32 amp (come on I am ready :45

 

[Darkwood]

Ill dish the answer in an hour giving room for thinking space and no clues till then

 

[moospark]

Why not? It'll only draw the current it wants?

 

[stuartcourt]

An hour to think about what I said, thats harsh DW

 

[Darkwood]

Can we provide any reg no's to back up any comments so we are showing that we are not just randomly guessing even if your guesses may or may not be correct

Vicar of dibley moment
