could well have blown the fuse in the brand new lead.


Won't be a fuse in a schuko plug, and despite what I said earlier about
1A fuse in shaver adapter, his voltstick did light up from the adapter
... it might be close enough to input live pin rather than the output
live contact


All the voltstick suggests is that live may have been present somewhere
in the coil of wire in the cable extension reel NOT that the contact of
the adapter is live. The voltstick os aproximity detector and mains live
may have been on the input side of the safety trip in the extension reel.

What is the power consumption of BOTH of the equipments plugged into
that one extension lead?
