LGB Transformers

[PhilP]

Have you seen that you can get UK type converter plugs that enclose a whole Eurpean type plug and make good electrically sound connections.

These save having to cut the Euro Plug off and wire a 13a type on or using the rather horrid shaver type adaptors.

Many of my LGB transformers came from mainland EU and now have these converter plugs.

However in March 2019 I hear that were are going back to 15a round pin plugs made out Bakelite.......

...And double-pole fusing!

Along with the 3 amp plugs, this is to accompany the move back to 240 volts mentioned in another post.

I think they were 5 amp Jimmy - but it was a while ago, wasn't it.

Alan you may well be right, it was some time ago.
