As in the image, I have a socket with two plugs, a 2400W kettle, if I plug the kettle to one of the two plugs, can I use the other plug as well? Will the socket be overloaded?
k1w1k1d: I don't have that standard, so I cant read it to tell you where/why you are wrong. I suspect this is a case of not reading and/or understanding the document in full.
bijgd: I am confident it is per socket. So in this case it is you can plug in 2 devices and use 10 amps on each.
Circuit protection also has very little to do with it.
The answer is yes, you can use both outlets however you like. This thread will be up to three pages of speculation by this afternoon, ignore it.
