I seem to remember there was a mil spec covering silk-screening. I think it was part of front panel nomenclature. Perhaps in Mil E (or Mil S) 16400. Fred Townsend Denomme, Paul S. wrote: This may be bit a bit off topic for this group, but does anyone know of an industry specification that

Some of the 3 way adaptors which fit to an existing double are fused, thus limiting them to 13A total. I believe ring mains have max permitted length and or area coverage. The current rating on a ring main should be able to be double that of the cable as in essence you have two cables in

With all due respect to everyone who has commented so far, I think you have all missed a fundamental point (although John got quite close to it). So long as the MCB (or fuse) in the fuseboard is correctly specified for the cable(s) which connects it to the socket, then the rating of the socket
