    Default electrical section

    I cant seem to find any threads on electical and safety on here, maybe we need one and do a few copy and pastes or anyone who is an electrician or competent with electrics could give advice.

    The reason I ask is because now the colder weather is approaching, people are starting to dig out thier oil filled radiators but did you know that a 2kw heater is about 8.3a if that is plugged into a four way extention lead with two 600w lights it would exceed the 13amp plug socket and could be very dangerous.

    An easy way to work it out is volts (240) x amps (13) = 3120 watts.

    not up on the electrical side of things, but what i do know is i ran up a £300 bill in 3 months 2 winters ago useing an oil filled radiator ffs, what was disappointing me more that it was just a bog standard radiator with a fan on the side and not a coffee warmer
