South Africa bans switched sockets to improve safety.

Sparkingchip:
New requirements for socket outlets in South Africa


 Andy Betteridge 

They may be thought as a drawkcab, and are in places; they were pioneers in earth leakage detection from the safety need in the gold mines. Most of the big name players were North American and European such as Westinghouse, Cutler Hammer, Schneider, GEC etc.. As an ex-Pat; when I bailed out in 2000, an electrical inspection certificate was required to put the house on the market, I remember the electrician who carried it out, lost 6 Jack Russells to a Python in his large garden, all at the one time and evident by the girth!. Any employees with Escom at that time were from the UK and it was a stable organisation .............. sadly, it is no more due to the ignorance of the great unwashed, incompetence and greed from a government ...... who isn't.


Their wiring regulations were also in a loose leaf binder, so that pages for amendments could be easily be replaced and were sold in CNA, a well known book store,
