The also said that they were puzzled as to why DETA would produce a 15amp socket that could not take a 10amp plug. So this certainly raises questions about the advice from DETA or even perhaps to what extent their products meets Australian standards. |
Do yourself a favour, either purchase Clipsal or HPM brand for quality electrical products and stay away from inferior Deta rubbish.
