[QUOTE="michael8554, post: 525944, member: 34375"] I didn't appreciate that a 13Amp socket on a 6Amp circuit was allowed. Now that it's been explained it's obvious to me that if someone did plug in a 3kw heater, of courser the 6Amp MCB would trip. So no problem. It just seemed Bad Practice to allow that situation to occur. Thanks for all the replies. [/QUOTE]
