Default Re: So like me you thought it was OK to plug a 10amp device into a 15amp outlet.

I see the Clipsal ones as with many other brands except perhaps HPM also now have this safety shutter that inhibits the insertion of a 10amp plug into their 15 amp socket so I am guessing there may been a recent change to AS/NZS 3112. the standard for AC power plugs (male) and sockets (female) requiring it.
