Re: 240v ?
PaulandNic actually said 'you HAVE to be a qualified / licenced electrician to change a plug in Australia.'
That might be true in Queensland but Queensland is not Australia. I think it's been proved that it's OK to change your own plugs in NSW, for example.... |

That says nothing about plugs, as far as I can see. It refers to fixed electrical items.

You may purchase but cannot install electrical accessories (e.g. junction boxes, light switches, plugs, power points, light fittings without a cord) or fixed wire electrical appliances (ceiling fans, some light fittings, stoves, ovens, split system air conditioning).

I think the best compromise between manufacturing robustness, ease of use and especially being able to plug in all those transformers and chargers is the US system for all its faults.
We specified HPM "Como" fittings for our build: the switches are 2" square for us oldies and the sockets are self-switching, with a red LED when something's plugged in. That seems very strange, since we now have a houseful of little red lights all burning juice. |
