Converting a storage heater socket to a standard plug socket
I want to swap a storage heater socket over to a standard plug socket - are there any potential problems with doing this or is it a pretty straight forward swap job?
Thanks.
Thanks.

The CSA is how we measure cables and can work out what currunt the cable can carry safely. ie when you buy cable you'll come across 1.00, 1.5, 2.5, 4.00mm2 etc..........Beachcomber wrote:

This is the cross sectional area (CSA) of the cable, sometimes it is visable on the cable.
Like to thinking behind the timed plug, I could do with one for any time Bruce Forshyte I mean Forsyth come on.
