Guys quick help please ! (2 pin to 3 pin adapter)

[PooBrain]

I have this 2-pin to 3-pin adapter from Aladdin's Cave shop. It says 1 Amp fuse with 250v. It also says "shaver only".

I am using it on a device that has a 2-pin plug that says 16A with 250v.

Is it OK to go ahead with this as i cannot be bothered to walk back into town?

Thanks!

Sorry, I don't know the answer.

The shaver adaptor will not work, as it's designed for a low wattage device, and only fitted with a 1amp fuse.

This assumes the device actually uses anything like that 16amp (what does the device itself say, a UK plug is almost always rated at 13amp for the actual plug. even if the fuse fitted is only 1amp, and the wiring suitable for 3amp).

Ah ok so i am looking for an adapter that has 13 amps and 250v?

Edit:

Device power requirements are:

power requirement 28W

power output 10W RMS into 4

It would fit into a normal plug socket if you knew how..

28W is only .12A so the 1A fuse will suffice.

Edit: Is that the rating on the device itself? Is there a transformer which plugs into the wall or is it just a standard three pin plug. If it is a transformer then what are the ratings on it?

It's a 2 pin plug for my 3 pin plug hole. It needs to be an earthed adapter too and i don't seem to have one that has the earth strips on it.

Picture the input, is a two prong type, or a rounded two prong thing with metal strips for adaptive earthing?

Round two pronged with metal strips on either side.

This will do?

Just make sure you do not use anything that should be earthed without an earth, either of those plugs are suitable.

[Puzzled]

Can't you just cut the plug off and wire a standard 3 pin UK plug back on?
