How to wire a 1970's plug...

Just seen this and thought I'd share with you...


As part of the IET's 'Exploring the Archives' feature, my colleague Asha Gage‍ from the Archives Team gives us a quick look at an unusual item in the IET Archives. A tea towel from the 1970's made to help the public to understand the changes in wiring. ?

  • Thanks roger I wondered where that color code came from. My workshop has a mix of 5 15 and 13 amp sockets I fitted a 5 amp plug because I've got more sockets of the that rating so it's just easier
