Default Re: Another unusual plug and some other questions

That just sounds like Walsall gauge. (All pins at right angles to normal orientation).

If no fuse was an issue (Inrush current?) a 15A round pin plug would seem more appropriate, and still to a recognised standard.

Surely, though, the earth pin on an ordinary 13A plug is set at right angles to the line and neutral pins anyway?
