I can see the purpose of having a 1:1 transformer socket outlet.

For shaving?

Apparently there are people out there who shave.

Fused plugs are only required in the UK where we use Rings.

the flex is protected by the Fuse/MCB at the DB on a radial.

Only in specific cases where MCB and cable are specified together to meet adiabatic limit, etc.

That is why they often have thicker cables and limits on MCB for non-UK systems. We now also have thicker more expensive cables on most equipment because no one makes just for the UK market any more!

I meant a BS 1363 type.

I didn't shave until after I was born.

The collar/spacer thing worked great. This forum always has the best advice.

The only thing, I bought some longer screws from a well know distributors and they basically stripped the thread of the backbox. Where do you buy 3.5 screws?

100% agree with @Midwest that a thread clean-up tool is a great investment!
