Electrical extension leads thought to have overheated and ignited fire which killed woman in Clare, inquest hears | Latest Suffolk and Essex News | Australia Power Plug Socket

The fact that the SANS 164-1 was not compatible with any other plugs in the world created additional safety problems.

Also, be sure that the cord can handle the power needs of what you’re plugging into it. For most household applications, such as plugging in a lamp or a computer charger, an extension cord that can handle up to 13 amps should suffice.

Those not ready to dive into the electric deep end can opt for other Ioniqs with petrol engine safety nets. Hybrid and Plug-in versions each use 1.6-litre four-cylinders backed by electric motors, for combined outputs of 104kW/265Nm.

Operating in pitch-black, smoke-filled rooms may become less dangerous with the help of special cameras and computer programs built into the C-Thru firefighter’s mask

The latest entry, the Osmo Pocket, was announced Wednesday at an event in New York. Like the original Osmo, it sports its own video camera. As the name implies, it’s tiny—as pocket-friendly as Stuart Little. It’s a candy bar-shaped device, but more fun size than full size, measuring in at 4.8 by 1.1 by 1.5 inches (HWD) and tipping the scales at a meager 4.1 ounces.

Looking at this, you already know that you will need to buy an adaptor if you’re importing something, or traveling to a country that uses a different socket. As an Indian, it’s easiest to travel to countries in the sub-continent, or to go to South Africa. Next comes the EU – you’ll need an adaptor for the three pin plugs, but most of your two pin devices will fit. The spacing of an EU plug is ever so slightly different from what we get in India, which means that the grip in the socket might be a little loose but that’s okay.

With the paucity of DC fast-chargers in Australia a three phase AC charging option for a battery electric vehicle (BEV) makes sense. Regional, and even interstate trips are at least within the realm of practicable when combined with the 200–400km plus range of the current crop of BEVs.

“We have thousands of electric cables, stuffed tyres and cylinders in our warehouse waiting for further investigation and analysis,” he said.

Unlike many other electricity systems across the world, the outlet also came with a switch, to turn the plug on and off. “Switches are dangerous,” says Buyst. They create the false impression of safety, when switched off.  

You also want to keep extension cords out of harm’s way. Don’t run them overhead, where high winds or ice buildup can bring them crashing down, and keep cords away from walkways and driveways. “If you put it across a walkway and someone takes a snowblower to it, you’ve got a real problem,’’ Rose said.
