Im fairly sure they run heavier guage cable from the metre box for 15 amp, not just a different plug. If the only difference was the plug what would be the point of it?

same size cable (2.5mm2) but you have it on a seperate circuit.

i may be able to help you out here ben351. is it extremely urgent or can it wait a week?

is it going in a shed or in the house?

is your power supply 3 phase or single phase?

do you have circuit breakers (looks like a switch with on/off on it) or ceramic wire fuses? if you have ceramic fuses count me out. haha.

easy way around RCD is to use a RCD protected power point if you run out of room in your board! No exactly 100% but it is a pretty good compromise! Did that for my spa!

yeah that is pretty dodgy, especially for a spa, i would be installing a proper circuit in your db, I wouldnt trust my life to a RCD power point.

Fair enough I ran out of room in the DB and didn't want to change it out for a bigger one. As I said not 100% and I am not a sparky

i'd have to come n chek it out to see wat i'd need and if i'd need to dig n shit, look at the plug on the mig n stuff. but yeah i can do it. depends on the amount of work i would have to do to get it to the shed to determine a price tho.
