Plugs : Converting from one pin configuration to another using Convertor leads.

This surely must have happened to you somewhere in the past where a plug doesn't fit in a socket! The solution? Watch this. :D Oh yes! You have tuned into another Wayne's Electrical video where there are more PLUGS on show. :D Let's do this then! Today's subject: Pin Configuration Convertors! What are those? Put basically, these will allow connection of one plugging standard to be connected into another of a different standard.... Effectively and above all, safely! Take for example.... Taking a domestic 13A plug and connecting it into an industrial 'blue' socket (as shown in the thumbnail image) It just will not go, regardless of how much wriggling and squirming you give it.... and that's exactly the way it has designed to be! They are different FOR A REASON, not just to be a pest! Those blue industrial sockets are at least 16A (others can be 32A, 63A and even 125A!) and so therefore really, should be different. OK, there is a work-around: A Pin Configuration Convertor. In the cases of a 13A plug, it doesn't matter too much because the plug to BS 1363 will be fused. Provided that the voltage is the same (because Pin Configuration Convertors do not change voltage) then really speaking, there shouldn't be any problem regarding voltage compatibility. Of course, if you are going to make a Pin Configuration Convertor, IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY AND LIABILITY to ensure voltage and phasing compatibility, AND TO ENSURE CIRCUIT PROTECTION! Issues may arise where someone uses an "extreme" Pin Configuration Convertor. These should really be avoided, especially where they can fall into the hands of end-users. Such an "extreme" Pin Configuration Convertor could be a 125A blue plug to BS EN 60309-2, converting down to 15A, BS 546. The danger would be in that there would be no fusing in either the Pin Configuration Convertor, or the 15A plug which would eventually be connected into that device! Should a fault occur, the appliance and its related flex would have to withstand at least 125A for the time it takes for such a circuit protective device to operate. What's the chances of a length of 1.5mm flex taking at least 125A for the time it takes for the circuit breaker to operate without there being some mighty great flash-bang and a fire? The making of "Extreme" Pin Configuration Convertors should be avoided AT ALL COSTS. Just don't do it! They may be OK in the hands of a qualified tester, for testing purposes (and when I say 'testing', I don't mean plugging in an appliance to see if it works!) but anywhere else (including powering stuff up, EVEN IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!) should be avoided. Fuses and socket sizes are there for a very good reason, and you REALLY SHOULD NOT start bypassing and circumventing them with the misuse of Extreme Pin Configuration Convertors! Making a Pin Configuration Convertor which converts from 16A BS EN 60309-2 down to 15A BS 546 can be considered OK, as there is not much difference between 16A and 15A. Extreme Pin Configuration Convertors on the other hand.... JUST FORGET IT. DO NOT RISK IT! DON'T TAKE CHANCES! Trust me on this: If something lets loose on a 125A service, THE BANG WILL BE LOUD AND THE FLASH WILL BE BRIGHT. If you are really unlucky, it'll be the last thing you'll see and hear! In no way is this video a "Make-It-Yourself" video. Before making a Pin Configuration Convertor, you should seek the advice of a qualified, experienced and competent electrician. The plugging standards covered in this video are as follows: BS 1363, BS 546 and BS EN 60309-2. The latter standard was also known as BS 4343 or IEC 309 or CEE 17. This has been another PLUGS video which you can find in the relevant playlist, along with a whole lot of other PLUGS. :D Thanks for watching. -Wayne's Electrical.
