As hilzabilly's electrician friend recommended by putting ten amp plugs onto a 15amp cord you have an additional safety barrier not the other way around

However,
We strongly urge that if you're giving advise on electrical matter you "must" know 100% what you're suggesting is safe, put simply if you dont know then dont advise in this section.. SIMPLE!!
The team here at aussiedistiller.com.au believes that all electrical work should be done by an authorised & qualified electrician, we strongly advise against DIY electrical period.
If someone disagrees with a post or believes something posted is unsafe, simply click the report button or contact one of the mod/admin team, once this has happened the offending post will be removed without explanation & deemed a safety breech, no PM's, arguments, excuses or justifying actions etc etc will be responded to.
Continued breech's will result in a warning and possibly a suspension given.
We do care about your safety, and so should you :handgestures-thumbupleft:
