You mean an IEC lead?


Look at http://www.espares.co.uk/datastore/ProductImages/289525.jpg
Note the notch.
That's a kettle lead. It is rated 13A.


Now look at http://www.whitedog.co.uk/catalog/images/ukmains_lead.jpg
That is *NOT* a "kettle lead". It is probably rated 6A and carrying a 5A 
fuse. Won't run a kettle, but great for all manner of computer equipment.


Sorry, pedantic I know, but...


Best wishes,

Rick.
