      Especially with 32A lol. Can't wait to see the forum posts after someone tries to wire that in on a standard circuit.

      • Ragnarok1983 on 05/06/2021 - 17:10

        I cant even think of domestic appliances that come with 32A 1PH to begin with.

        • BewareOfThe Dog on 05/06/2021 - 18:05

          I think there were some Acer predator pcs a few years back, but I think they were less than 32a.

          20a?

      Obligatory dont DIY for computers. Get a proper technician with diploma to do your backups and installs.

      • ashanrath on 05/06/2021 - 18:32

        Big difference. Assuming you're using off the shelf components and not screwing around inside the PSU, the worst an idiot could probably do is break some connectors and damage components. Yeah it'll be broken, but it's not going to take anything else with it.

        You take the same idiot and get them to try drawing 32A on cable rated for 10 or 15….

        • bargaino on 05/06/2021 - 18:38

          … he will trip the breaker.
          But try to apply that line of logic more widely and see how it works. Because of said hypotheticl idiot, nobody would be allowed to drive a car or climb a ladder without a 3-year apprenticeship.
          It is a truly bad argument.

  • Jenny Death on 05/06/2021 - 13:44

    What sort of things would you need a 32a outlet for?

    • Lvl1pro on 05/06/2021 - 13:48

      Not sure either, I would have thought most things drawing this kind of current usually come with a 3 phase plug.

      • Steptoe on 05/06/2021 - 13:55

        Most EV's can draw 32A from a single phase

          Usually if the need that much power, they are three-phase, which is an utterly different configuration.

    • terrys on 05/06/2021 - 20:36

      I was wondering that too. I've got an ancient transformer 250 amp [25% duty cycle] MMAW that needs 15 amp, but anything bigger is usually 3 phase 450V. Modern inverter units are far more efficient and it's hard to imagine a home use that would require plant drawing 8KW!

        Dual element water heater, or a big AC, high flow instant water heaters (electric showers) are often 10+kw.
        Even some kitchen appliances can require 5kw plus.
        Induction cook tops / large ovens or dishwashers.

        It's amazing how energy hungry some appliances are.

        • terrys on 06/06/2021 - 09:57

          True - but normally "hardwired", at least in every residence I've been in in UK/AUS/BRD?NZ…

    This is NOT a replacement for a standard powerpoint, this is a high current socket for special use and needs thicker wires and higher current circuit breakers.
    The plugs for higher than 10 A (standard household) have different contacts thickness and length.
    A higher current plug will not fit in a standard socket however a higher current socket will take a normal plug.
    You definitely should use an electrician if you need this socket.

    PS this link may help with understanding the variants but it does not even mention the 32 A.

    Replacing a standard GPO with this will burn you house down pretty quickly.
    The noraml 2.5mm TPS that your house is wired in is rated at 25amp max.
    32amp requires a minimum of 4mm and is normally a dedicated circuit.
    Just ring an electrician.

    • Mr Icarus on 05/06/2021 - 15:34
      +3

      nah, there's only a risk of that happening if the breaker supplying the outlet was also swapped to a 32A and the cable left as 2.5mm.
      Breakers are rated to protect the supply cabling not the appliance.

      • GregFiona on 05/06/2021 - 16:31

        (not an electrican) but what is the point of having lower rated breaker and then this?

        • terrys on 05/06/2021 - 16:58
          +1

          <Ahem>. I think that was the point of the post….

        • DoesntEvenMatter on 05/06/2021 - 17:04

          Lower rated is able to trigger sooner saving your life. Plus not eveything is universal size for cost of copper too

          • Mr Icarus on 05/06/2021 - 17:58

            @DoesntEvenMatter: trip times aren't quicker for lower current CB,s they just trip at a lower current.

        • Mr Icarus on 05/06/2021 - 17:54
          +2

          there isn't,
          To install an outlet with a larger rating than the cabling / circuit protection would not make much sense.
          Any time you tried to draw the rated power of the outlet or the appliance plugged into it it would trip ( if draw is greater than circuit protection).

          generally its more common to do the opposite and having a bigger cable than the protection is rated for for the outlets installed.
          (google volt drop)

          • terrys on 05/06/2021 - 20:11

            @Mr Icarus: I remember a welding course where the circuit for the welding bay 240V sockets was protected by a 30 amp breaker on the board. That, in turn was protected by a 20 amp breaker up above the toilet block reachable by climbing a ladder and clambering over some crawl boards.

            Queue up the 6mm plates and pick up the 12" grinder…

            Even now I have to stop myself giving the wheel a starting spin by hand before hitting a bevel.

        Bold, assuming that the DIYer who thinks it's a good idea to install this doesn't also have the great idea to replace the breaker with a nail once it pops.

        • Mr Icarus on 05/06/2021 - 20:11

          lol, then their house burns down and they are up the proverbial creek..!

          easier to just bypass the breaker / fuse than bother with a nail ;-)

        • terrys on 05/06/2021 - 20:13

          C'mon - I found a rusty 4" nail that had been doing sterling service for at least 30 years once, tho my neighbours had mentioned a "hot" smell from time to time

    • bargaino on 05/06/2021 - 17:38

      Replacing a standard GPO with this will burn you house down pretty quickly.

      You should not be giving electrical advice.
      The GPO is not a safety device. It is the breaker that protects the circuit, and will trip if you try to draw 32A sustained from a standard circuit.

  • terrys on 05/06/2021 - 17:01

    Good-oh - A bit of gaffer tape or a screw through the breaker toggle and I can finally run that 140 amp bead over the worn looking bit on the fridge compressor housing.
    What could possibly go wrong…

      This is why our insurance premiums are so high. :)

  • bargaino on 05/06/2021 - 17:40

    These things are almost never used in a home.
    Anything requiring high current is hard-wired these days.
    EVs have their own plugs, and a "charger" that is hard-wired.

    Pointless post.
