2
nominal cross sectional area (24/0.2mm).
(ii) Extended by using a B.E.A.B. approved 3-way sealed flex connector with integral flex clamps.

If any other type of plug is used it should incorporate a
3 amp fuse in either the plug or at the distribution
board. If the cable has to be threaded through small
apertures in cabinets etc., it may be disconnected from
the appliance, then re-connected as shown in Fig.4.
