The rating should be detailed on the plug itself. If you are unsure, measure the distance between the pins. This adaptor is only compatible with the 15A/16A plug (right). For the smaller 5A/6A used in the UK for table lamps and also most commonly in India.

Hi there … Thank you for the tutorial! Clear step by step. Question : If I change from 13AMP to 15AMP, will it not overload the fuse box ? Just 1 socket/plug to change for oven use

You need to check the MCB specification in the box.Believe have a few pieces in the fuse box.Need to find which MCB connect to the socket supply place(for oven use). MCB Current and Curve Rating: , Example if mentioned C20 . The numeral part indicates rating of MCB in Ampere. In the given example it is 20A. MCB rating is very important and be very precise about it.

You need to check wire pin gauge first.If gauge over 14 size,there should not be a problem to change to 15A.

Hi, thanks for tutorial. How about if my wall outlet is already 15amp 3 round pin, I need to use power tools with 13amp plug, I don't want to change the plug head to 15amp. Can I just use an adapter to plug in my 13amp items? They are around 1200-1500watt and will only use one at a time. Is it safe? The amperage use of the tool is lower than wall outlet should be ok right?

Can i use a Chinese brand10A water dispenser, change it to a UK plug 13A fused socket?
@TonaziTube
Жыл бұрын
By assuming that the 13A plug you’re referring to is British, I’m guessing that the 10A connector is using 240V. In that case, yes, you could technically change the plug without any problems - just put a 10A fuse in the plug to be safe. A UK outlet was historically protected by a 13A fuse, which is why it is necessary to protect your appliance with the correct type of fuse at the plug. Of course, using electrical appliances in countries they’re not approved or certified in is another kettle of fish....
my exisitng wiring on aircon is 15A type and using 15A socket n plug , but for some reason, can i change JUST the plug and socket to 13A type?
@TonaziTube

Need to check current (Ampere) requirement on your Aircond usage.If use more than 13Amp,not recommended to change.
The cable in the patress box looks like 1mm or 1.5mm flex which is absolutely not enough for a 15a circuit.

A 2.5mm cable is capable of supplying around 23-25 amps depending on the method of installation, so is fine, safe and compliant on a 20amp circuit breaker.

You need to make sure the cable rating is right before putting a 15amp socket in place of a 13 amp one.

14 AWG copper wire is the most common choice for a 15-Amp circuit. 14 AWG copper wire is ranked 20 Amps at 75°C. If you choose to use aluminum wire, the correct size for a 15 Amp breaker is 12 AWG. However, copper cables are a better choice for 15 Amp breakers due to safety and efficiency concerns

My circuit breaker/ industrial socket is rated 32 A 220 volts. Can it power a 13 A 220 volts appliance or it it can burn?
@TonaziTube
Жыл бұрын
The number “32” means that the Circuit breaker will handle up to 32 amps before tripping. The curve determines how long the circuit breaker will hold before tripping at various over-current levels. If using 13A 220V,it should be no problem.
this is terrifying

@@TonaziTube you screwed down onto your cables insulation which is a main cause for fires at sockets you should remove some insulation and twist the wire until it will not twist anymore then tighten onto that exposed cable and you will have a safe socket though the other end of that wire may also need to be reinstalled
