Description
13 Amp plugs
MK standard 13 Amp plugs can be used on ring and radial circuits and are available
with 13 Amp fuses or 3 Amp fuses.
Round pin plugs
Available unfused at 2, 5 and 15 Amp. They can also be supplied fused, the 15 Amp
fitted with a 5 Amp fuse. The British Standard does not allow the 15 Amp plug to
be fused higher than 5 Amp. The 15 Amp plug is normally used on a radial system
which is protected by a 20 Amp protective device.
Non standard safetyplug
Non standard safety plug utilizing “T” shaped earth pin specifically for use with MK
non standard sockets only, e.g. K1257WHI – Logic Plus 1 Gang 13 Amp Switched,
Non Standard Socket Outlet.
Adaptors
Both the 13 Amp two way adaptor and the shaver adaptor are designed to BS 1363:
Part 3: 1995. The two way adaptor is unfused and has two shuttered 13 Amp socket
outlets. The unique feature of the shaver adaptor is the raised wall on the socket
face which restricts the size of plug which can be inserted to the typical shaver plug.

BS 1363 Part 1:1995. All 13 Amp Toughplugs
