Yellow 240v extension reel??

[jinjoh_ninjoh]

Hi all,
Today I was given a yellow 240v extension reel to use.
Now if I'm not mistaken yellow flex indicates 110v.
So how does this comply?
If I was to use this on a construction site everybody would assume it is 110v whereas in reality it's not it's 240v!
Thoughts please

You don't! I never said you could, generators are fitted with 230v sockets as well as 110v sockets therefore you would be able to use this extension lead on a construction site, and other tradesmen would be under the impression it was 230v until they saw the sockets on the reel!
At the end of the day they shouldn't be made with yellow arctic flex!

...But if you plugged it in to the 240v outlet,probably via a 16/13 converter,you would still only have 240v at the reel....as you should...

Biggest danger this offers on site?........Tripping hazard...next question...:yes:

Whats the point when it has a 13A plug at one end and 13A sockets at the other, most numpties would know it was 230v

No you can only use it on 400v 3 phase extension leads as isn't that the colour of the plugs

If its domestic dont forget to put it inside a metal enclosure before putting it on the fire though.
