Replace 13 amp domestic 3 pin plugs with 16 amp IP44 (blue 3 pin plugs)

Jo Satan · 2021-09-24 07:51:40

Hi I have a couple of machines that I operate in damp environments. They have regular domestic 3 pin plugs. Can I replace the plugs with 16amp single phase pugs? Thanks

I would consider using MK Masterseal sockets as these have a high IP rating. This would mean that the same plugs could be used which means that you would still have the benefit from having a fuse in the plug top.

Also bear in mind that commando sockets are unshuttered.
