A dangerous and non-compliant mains adaptor plug supplied with an electrical item which had a Chinese type mains plug fitted to it. The problems are all due to the adaptor supplied - there is nothing wrong with the moulded on Chinese plug, other than it being unsuitable for use in the UK. The proper thing to do is to supply the UK plug already fitted, or with a fitted semi-permanent fused adaptor such as the comparison example shown in the video. This is not just a personal preference - it's the law, and has been for almost 20 years. http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1994/1768/made Problems with the adaptor: Pins are not sleeved Pins are too close to the edge of the adaptor There is no fuse Pin spacing is incorrect, probably due to the flexible plastic not securing them properly The 2 pin plug does not fit properly into the adaptor and will easily fall out. ► Support this channel: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/jwflame PayPal Donations: http://xo4.uk/?PPP Amazon: https://amzn.to/30bKt4v (As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases) ► Social Media: Twitter: https://twitter.com/jwflame Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jwflame Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jwflame/ ► Contact info, sending stuff in: etc.: http://xo4.uk/?YTT ► Cryptocurrencies: Dogecoin DOGE: DShDwFJyXKqCddwVsuCWWYnGpuhFrBMyam Litecoin LTC: LXQ4QRqztUq1KBQccxeLDivrdnas5fcHrc Nyancoin NYAN: KUiaPqoRcNnhXHcfWrgEYD5aZqwocLnrwf Bitcoin BTC: 17JyfSsQuUi1tHow26QxUvsh45kP6vsK63 ► Website - More on this video and many other subjects Website: https://www.flameport.com Page for this video: http://xo4.uk/?4Hx ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUu8a6MP0iI
