Caravan UK socket
Posted: Sun Sep 20, 2020 8:41 pm
Asking this question for a computer iliterate work mate.
He would like to know with a UK imported caravan is it OK to leave UK socket outlet for connection of a microwave ( it will only be used for the microwave)?
I did have a quick look myself.
I may be wrong but assuming the import on arrival will have to be tested to section 8 as3000 and appendix C 3001, i don't see any requirement for socket to be a nz type as long as polarity is correct. (unless I missed it)
Of course uk sockets outlets for general purpose are not fit for purpose in Nz so they should be changed
But a UK socket only only for the connection of a UK microwave I would imagine would be OK to stay?
Much appreciated
Thanks Dan
