[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 500235, member: 1408"] BG socket eh ! Perhaps not the best quality . If the contacts that grip the plug prongs are suspect that could be the problem . Socket will be OK up to ..say.... 2K Watts but start carping out when used at their quoted loading . Often happens in rewired houses using cheapo sockets .....they all work fine except the one for the kettle which carries a higher load ,,,, typically seen with burn marks around the insert holes.
