[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 509324, member: 250"] Simple rule of thumb is... "Does the appliance come with a manufactures fitted moulded plug on the end of a flex?" If YES... it can probably go onto a ring. If NO... don't waste any valuable beer drinking time, trying to evaluate if it can!!!! As a side note:- when I were a boy, it was very, very common to have a 3-bar electric fire plugged into a ring that supplied the whole house.. (4x circuit fuses: Sockets/Cooker/Imm heat/Lights) and as the 3bar fire was 1kwatt per bar... when all three bars were on it pulled 3kWatts! In winter all three bars were often on, (as central heating was less common).. and I don't recall our house burning down? BUT... It is also true that nowadays, there are a lot more other higher power appliances plugged in as well.. Guinness [/QUOTE]
