Best Answer

The 2 amp (about two hundred watts at household voltage) difference isn't that significant so the construction of the sockets should not differ greatly unless they are made of different conducting materials (aluminum/copper). The 15A socket should have thicker contacts or wiring to support the extra amperage or better construction to conduct away the extra heat that might be generated.

What is 13a socket outlet?

A '13-A socket outlet' is the popular name for the standard electrical socket used in the UK and other various other countries under the British sphere of influence such as the Arab Gulf countries.The term derives from the fact that the socket is designed to take fused plugs which are rated at 13-A which, with a nominal voltage of 230 V, supply loads up to 3 kW. In the UK, these sockets are connected using a ring main system, rather than a radial system used in most other countries.

Can you plug in a 240v-50Hz 2.8kW oven into the mains socket or does it have to be hardwired into a spur?

Yes it can be plugged in with a 13A plug.


How many watts are in 13A switch socket outlet using 220 v?

Watts from a socket is dependant upon what the load connected draws. The maximum capacity from a socket is calculated by the following equation, W = A x V. So the maximum wattage you are able to draw from the socket before the fuse blows is W = 13 x 220 = 2860.


Is it safe to plug in a 15A dimmer pack into a standard 13A socket?

No it is not safe because it may be possible that the load 15 A may take grater than 15 amp and your socket and wiring may burn or damage.so i will say that use 20 amp socket it will safe for your device and also for your wiring connection.
