WildeSquirrell Safety Socket

PAT testing isn't a legal requirement, it's just happens to be the best way for an employer to meet their obligations on protecting employees.

That's how I understand it, we have all our band PA gear PAT tested but only because most venues insist on a certificate to protect themselves against claims, just as the band need public liability insurance for the same reason.

If you seriously want one I'll cost it up and send you note Steve

I would be interested in one if you can price it up please?

If you could add some circuitry that will self-eject the socket when you start the engine, that would be the ultimate "safety socket"



(I swapped over my Motorhome and Campervan on the driveway yesterday and, as I have done a few times previously (should have learned by now!), drove the campervan away still plugged in to the house . Fortunately, because of the way I happened to fit the van mounted receptacle, no damage is incurred and just need to refit the socket to the lead each time but it is definately a bad habit )

The easy answer is a nice big Neon mounted in front of the steering wheel connected to the incoming supply.
There's nothing like a wally light to save embarrassment

Actually, that is not a bad idea at all!
On the campervan, I had both a loud buzzer and red light come on when I turned on the Ignition to warn me the mechanical step was still out and that was impossible to ignore
