Hello Scott, I was curious to know myself but I'm not sure I came up with the right answer.
The Terms & Definitions section of BS 1363-3 defines "intermediate adaptor" as "a fused adaptor having one or more socket-outlets and provision for the connection of a flexible cord to a remote control device in series with the socket outlet." So I recon it's an extension lead with a remote control facility. I was curious to know if such products are manufactured and the following Google UK image search does indeed indicate these are manufactured and readily available. www.google.co.uk/search?q=extension+lead+with+remote+control&um=1&tbm=isch Or I could be completely wrong in my interpretation of "intermediate adaptor". I think the standard could be clearer in its definition. Hope this helps, T ----- Original Message ----- From: Scott Xe Sent: 09/05/13 06:23 PM To: EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG Subject: [PSES] Non-rewirable intermediate adaptors or adaptor plugs Hi John, Do you have any idea what the actual products of non-rewirable intermediate adaptors or adaptor plugs mentioned in sub-clause 15.2 of BS 1363-3 for mains adaptor are as compared to the 3-way adaptors used in normal household?
