Regardless of your 40 years my 17 years tells me enough to never plug In appliances/ electrical equipment whilst the supply is ON position

Why not, explain.

Why not, explain.

I’ve explained in previous posts. Read

Verified that the user made it faulty by removing and inserting plugs under loads in #12. I have lost count the amount of times I've been asked to check (dodgy) sockets due to the user plugging in equipment/appliances under load conditions.................

So what’s your point? Do you advise plugging in electrical equipment whilst they are in “ON” position?

The socket was never faulty but the user claimed it to be faulty by it sparking whilst plugging in the hoover/steamer etc this is my point

Unswitched sockets are, apparently, fine for on-load disconnection, according to table 537.4, note 3.

My bible is in the van however the wording there says “on load disconnection” what about “connection”?

It says suitable for isolation, also says suitable for functional switching, so I guess so

Doesn’t sound clear to me.

Let’s see what westward says tomorrow. I believe I’m right in this debate do not plug in equipment whilst under load conditions and socket in on position.
