This is bad because it's exposed to the elements.

The lock doesn't stop it from tripping, but it does stop someone from flipping it off

Are standard burger plugs this week?
>>

Its a chink CCA cable.
>>
>>2878043
No, but Chicoms are too cheap/retarded/malicious to install a properly-rated cord on a space heater.

Really makes you think!

>>2877480
Touche.

It's also a shitty padlock though.

>calls it American
Typical euro behavior. You guys even allowed to lift a hammer without a permit over there?
>>
>>2878096
All cables are made in China, even the one we use here. But here, they're all rated for 230V 16A and use 1,5mm2 wires
>>
>>2878043
Our receptacles (outlets) are rated to 15a on the smaller ones and up to 20a on the heavier duty ones at 115V or 125V or whateverthefuck they call it... The cords on chinkshit can be as heavy or light as they desire, and obviously that 7A plug end that was posted here is undersized for the amount of wattage that heater says it will pull.

So everything gets the same cord on it regardless of the wattage it uses? Like your little phone charger gets the same size cord on it as your wife's 2500w thrusting, vibrating, BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation of course...) power hog?

NEMA outlets are electrical receptacles used in North America, standardized by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA). They come in various types, such as NEMA 5-15R for standard household use, and are designed for different voltage and amperage ratings.
>>
>>2878108
Why would all cords use the same exact specs? That's a gigantic waste.
>>

Every time someone starts a post with "Here in Europe..." there's a 90% chance that its complete bullshit that they just made up on the spot. I don't know what causes people to lie like this.

The device draws less than that.
The cords fine you fucking gimp
>>2877250
Odds are it can't draw , the stickers wrong.
You'll also probably have I lots of voltage drop. Once again this isn't going to draw 1300 watts, probably only get 700 watts from it

He is right though, their "1300" Watt heater is probably only good for 700 watts anyways, so the underrated cord would atually be fine! Lol.

it is possible piss crystals were being formed and stopping the flow?
>>
>>2878826
Not a chance. Piss solutes are all water soluble. You probably poured oil down there. Or hair shavings if its the bathroom sink.

>standard burger
These are nippon plugs
We don't use 110V for decades now, and we never used 50Hz like half of Japan does.
Japanese stuff is 90% compatible with burger outlets, but not always.

Normie burger plug is 125V/15A
next most common plug I have in my house is a 250V/50A, about 5-6 of those
one each of
125V/20A
250V/20A
250V/30A
Service to my house is 250V/300A
Yuro apartment I own has a 230V/40A serivce but also has gas for heating.
I have to heat my burger house electrically, which used to be done with a 60A resistive heater when it was built in the 70's, got a heat pump that uses 1/3 of that now.
>>
>>2879010
>>2878109
you can pull like 22A continuously on a 15A outlet no problem. Probably more. You can do like 30A in short bursts also no problem

Am I missing something here?
125V * 7A = 875W

The heater is rated at 850W, so it's only 25W difference. Or is this an issue?
>>
>>2879760
2nd one is probably ok. First one says 1300w
