See now here's another thing, because in the UK we use ring mains as standard, which wikipedia implies is pretty unique. This means we shouldn't have 'spurs', and it should actually be quite hard to find another socket in the same room that is not on the same ring. However DIY rewiring (maybe a previous owner) can change that situation. Generally though using a different socket in the same room of a UK house is identical to using the same socket. On the point of 3 phase in the same room, obviously in the US the potential even across two phases is less than the potential on a single phase in Europe. Should be approximately 200V assuming each phase is 110V. Yes it can be fatal, but usually it isn't. 400V on the other hand is survivable, but the odds are considerably less (been there, done that, and boy does it hurt). Going back to OP's original point, and adding to Sean's post, homeplugs don't like electricity meters, and if you really have two lines in to the house, however they are arranged, then the path from one line to the other is likely to pass through the meter, which would have a significant effect. In that case changing in the way Sean described would have a benefit. -- bigfool1956 David Ayers Music is what counts, hifi just helps us enjoy it more ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bigfool1956's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13782 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=50082 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
