About this deal

There are three coloured wires inside the cable; cable colours are blue for neutral, brown for live and yellow for earth; yellow and green to be precise. I’d just buy a 3a fuse and use a plug top safest and cheapest way, if there’s a fuse spurs there just change the fuse in the carrier to 3a once the cables been correctly wired in (by a competent person) 2018-01-10T20:35:02+00:00 Everyone should understand the basics of a correctly wired 3-pin plug, and also be able to recognise any errors. If you don’t then this guide is for you. The wires are cut to the wrong length– To be fully correct, the coloured wires should have been cut at better lengths so that the white covering is fully into the plug before it is secured. Most plugs actually have a cable grip that screws across the main outer insulation sheath.

The standard UK plug is like no other in the world; it has three chunky, metal pins when most others just have two, and the plug in the main is bigger than elsewhere in the world – how can they get their electricity on such a smaller unit than us?It is without doubt that UK plug wiring, the UK plug is a brilliant design, and does keep millions of British users safe every day. However, it is important that these users ensure that.. We actually come across a lot of plugs that have been wired incorrectly by people who claim to know what they’re doing, and it is often those people putting themselves at risk.

You’ll need a screwdriver and perhaps a set of ‘snips’: It’s bigger than in other countries on purpose; the designer didn’t do that to annoy or frustrate – its size makes it safer, how? Ban, I agree with you entirely, in fact I`ve often said that all plugtops should be sold without fuses on the basis that (in theory) you gotta ask fo one and hopefully be offered advice as to the best one for the job 3A or 13A. Ok I know we live in the real world but......" Step 3: Now you need to open the new plug using your screwdriver and the central screw. Unscrew it to open the plug and put the plug top to one side. Using your smaller screwdriver unscrew but don’t remove the small terminal screws of the pins.
