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

15M Extension Board with Wind-up Reel - 15A
Convenient 15m Extension Cable with 15A Plug and Sockets
A convenient store and use extension cable with 3 pin 15A AC plug with extra large pin, 3 x 10A outlets and 1 x 15A outlet with a maximum loading of 3600W. Features a master On/off power switch, over temperature and overload protection. Heavy duty frame and easy to carry around with handle.
Dimensions: 325x265x130mm

I should add, the 10A plug should go into a 15A DETA outlet. I am not a big fan of shutters on outlets (but I understand why they are there). I often struggle with getting a darn 10A plug into a 10A socket. If you have any non-hydrocarbon silicone based grease, you can put a thin smear on the tips of the plug prongs.
