Quick question about rewiring a plug

[telectrix]

and give the poor dog some toys to chew coupled with a lot of TLC.

I believe a VS1363 plug is designed so the live conductor is always the shortest. And if you tighten the clamp it shouldn't pull out in the first place.

True but I have often seen a meandering live finally getting into the terminal and stuffed in tighter than sardines, and people tripping on cables can and do pull the lead out on occasions, especially when they do not bother to use the cable clamp, seen very often.

Ah cool I'll bare that in mind then Vortigern. Telectrix unfortunately she's an 8 month old Husky and it's their nature to chew things up especially during puppy stages

Make sure the live cable is as short as possible especially compared to the neutral. If the lead is pulled out of the plug then the live will come out first.

That is a very useful tip -- I re-wired a plug only yesterday, and did not think of that at the time. Now I feel obliged to re-do it ...

Cheers guys I'm confident rewiring the plug and the fuse should be intact as she's just chewed through the wire and pulled the plug off.

Just wanted to make sure a normal metal 3 pin plug would be fine as the current one has a plastic earth pin.

Luckily I unplugged it before going to bed.
