    Maybe its been tested to 1000v ..


    Note to myself: I must remember to ask the man at B&Q
    if the socket I am buying has a voltage rating other
    than 230/240. :O



    Mr. HandyAndy - really

    well surely you must know if you ferking work there !!

    The normal operating voltage has nothing to do with the voltage at which the item has been tested to.

    Roll on Mr H.
    FWIW All equipment has an operating voltage ~ 230V or whatever and a maximum voltage possible 1000V ac
    Doesnt mean you have to feed it at 1000V.
    Have a look at cables could be 500V rating

    I know, I know.

    All I'm saying is, you don't go out and buy sockets at different voltage ratings. Not in houses with single phase supply anyway(new can of worms ?) :(

    Exactly. Just because the speedometer goes up to 160 mph doesn't mean the car will go that fast...even if its 24V DC even...:|...ooops...should be on plumbers forum. (That Theakston's Old Peculiar is good stuff).

    So surely if you buy one of these super efficient new fangled heaters can't you just supply it with a free transformer to up the voltage to the necessary? I guess it would need one of those moulded on plug thingys these days.


    ;)
