At least the polarity is correct! :wink_smile:



Found in a rental property earlier this week, nice.

well, that;s the beauty of these 1363 sockets. back in the day of the round pin 15A sockets, we needed to wedge the wires in with bits of wood. it's called progress.

Impressive, love how you have left it switched on long enough to take a picture!

 

[Tiny Spark]

Whats the problem with that?
Its to stop nuisance blowing of the fuse

Well, the tenant was boiling some potatoes on the hob at the time, didn't want to spoil his dinner by switching it off!

 

[Chris sparky]

I dont think it's too bad. It's in keeping with the grease covered face plate anyway's

 

[Jdsparky]

At least they used sleeving

2 points.

1. you could switch off the socket and leave the hob on.

2. anyone who boils potatoes when said potatoes could be made into chips, does not deserve any consideration whatsoever. ( they boil them for 20 of their minutes. and then they smash them all to bits.)

That is the cooker cable, the fixed outlet behind the cooker had been by-passed & I was joking about the spuds.

Its continental style. The dont care which hole they put it in!

 

[telectrix]

When i was a kid round my mates house the plug on the sega megadrive got broken so we did exactly this as to not lose a minutes gaming! I was kicking his --- in mortal kombat at the time

 

[billy badger]

Looking at the state of the face plate, i'm guessing the property was a pretty disgusting hovel. Brings back memories of my day's as an apprentice.

 

[LeeH]

That's so bad.....you should have drove a plug top in to stop them from coming out.

 

[Silly Sausage]

Appalling, no switch identification.

 

[polo1]

I agree, and by doing so get rid of that bl***y stupid "you haven't posted...." message!

Don't think it would light up with the metal enclosing the cores

 

[ChrisElectrical88]

You never know, mine will pick up a live cable through galv conduit if you get it in the right place!

Correct, if the metal was to ground it wouldn't light up. So it was unearthed or live.

It could be double insulated
