Hi,
I have just bought a small electrical drying cabinet which has a chinese 3 pin plug (slanted contacts) the details on the plug are N20617 10A 250V. The instruction manual says that its power consumption is 4W. The unit would be running all day so want to make sure I am safe to do the below.
I am wanting to take the chinese plug socket off (its moulded plastic so will have to cut off) and replace with a UK plug. I am wanting to know if this is ok/safe to use and also should I put a 10 amp fuse in the UK plug? I have a travel adapter to use for the moment but I know that they are only supposed to be for temp use.
Any help/advise would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Darren
