Hi All
This post is due to some questions that developed on another forum recently
Where the use of Clipsal & Arlec type devises were being actively promoted at caravan shows
Also a RVMMA handbook was being distributed illustrating their use
The section of the RVAMAA handbook dealing with electrical safety & in particular the use of Cipsal /Arlec type products for RCD protection &/or connection of a 15amp plug to a 10amp socket is NOT AN APPROVED USE
I have made inquiries direct to the relevant authorities To date ,I have had three replies regarding the incorrect information in the RVMMA booklet regarding the use of portable outlet boards WA &TAS have confirmed that "epods " complying to AS/NZS 3105 ARE NOT APPROVED FOR THAT SITUATION[ie used for connection to a van extension lead The Qld SEI has confirmed that the info was supplied some 10years ago,IT IS OUT OF DATE THEY have contacted the RVMMA
