How not to wire a 13-amp. plug!

[Refugee]

Next morning he came in to work saying I must have got it wrong as it "blew up" when he switched it on.

So, that evening I detoured via his home to check it all out.

He had correctly wired the plug onto the new cable, then stripped back the other end cores. These he had twisted together with the 3 cores of the old cable and then taped over the join.



I often wonder if he ever attempted another "difficult" electrical task.

So he learned what you tort him and promptly primed a tape bomb so that it would still blow up

   
   

I have great praise for you for getting him to wire the plug correctly.
This was a little restoration for after dinner during the festive season and came with a fitted badly wired plug as standard with 13A fuse for a bigger bang.
Yet another one from my gallery.
