[QUOTE="Technician, post: 236405, member: 15198"] Andy I take your point about the informative appendix. I have noted that all new plug-in heaters are rated at 2kW maximum. While I read the appx and see that nowhere in it is the word "shall", I also read the [I]intent [/I]of the appendix as limiting the load on any one socket to 2 kW and that it is supporting reg 433.1. "Every circuit shall be designed so that a small overload of long duration will not occur." It is a matter of interpretation but yes, there is nothing to prevent a load in excess of 2kW in any one socket. P.S. whereabouts in Shields are you? [/QUOTE]
