JohnMc45 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Need to find the appropriate plugs and sockets for near 15A. Need to change a couple plugs from Nema 6-15 to whatever local standard would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Probably the best reasonably readily available would be the Schuko type European plug, plugs and the matching outlets can be found in the big box outlets or your local electrical emporium. Rated at 16A. These:- Or you could use the blue 16A "Commando" plug and outlet, possibly a bit "industrial" but very robust. Available in 32A too. EDIT. If you don't need portable there's nothing to stop you hard wiring your gear into a dedicated circuit with a 15A breaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 What's your load? The local US style plugs are "rated" at 16A although I wouldn't trust them with a continuous load at that level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMc45 Posted January 31, 2018 Author Share Posted January 31, 2018 2200w heating element, temperature controler, timer and a solenoid valve. So thinking about 12A I have melted my fair share of US style plugs on 1000-1500W space heaters. I am sure the original design and engineering say they are good for 15-16A but once manufactured by the lowest price bidder not so much. Seen the Schuko 16A plugs at Hardware House today. Every time I go there I see something different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully next time you'll see the matching outlets Haco Thailand do them http://www.hacothailand.com/product-list.php?type_id=1&type_name=Switches %26 Sockets Various codes A8-G132, LK 65431, LK 65421, LK 65421, M4-G20, M3-G10 If you can't find them locally Lazada may be your friend but their search engine sucks (or it does when I try it).

They did have the sockets/outlets to. Yes the Lazada search can be very hit or miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's certainly a lot of crap here but good ones also. Price usually corresponds to the quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
