UK safety issue
I've a Peavey 5150 , 2003 USA made, for repair.
This is an export model for 240V/220V areas, no 110V option. The mains lead has a German? integral plug( 2 round pins and a removed earth pin but an exposed earthing point) on the lead with a German? socket to UK plug adaptor. This adaptor is presumably used on other equipment for this purpose. Despite BS kite mark etc it is a very vague connection between the earth point of the German plug and the UK earth pin. In this one there is no earth bonding as it is so easy to dislodge the plug relative to the adaptor and losing earth bond. Adaptor is SCP3 made by PowerConnections , Harlow, England. Needs totally removing German plug and adaptor and fixing a UK plug on the lead. -- Diverse Devices, Southampton, England electronic hints and repair briefs , schematics/manuals list on http://home.graffiti.net/diverse:graffiti.net/ |
