Default Re: Chrome plated plug pins.

some extension cables and reels were only rated for 3 or 5 amps, we had one, and the top of the plug was marked as such, in fact it may have come from woolworths. I wonder if the extension cable manufacturer added the seperate lid with the 3A marking to remind people not to fuse it at 13A.
