Not always  :roll:
Check it doesnt need an indutrial blue plug (16 amp) it should be in the user manual  8)

Paul:
Your right, Just done a google on CLARKE SE16C150 and it takes 16amps on startup so a standard 3 pin plug would be no good.

crazymac:
A 16 amp blue plugs not rocket science. I have one in my garage and two outside at the back of the house. Both are wired and fused in the standard socket circuit.

Agreed  :wink:  but depends on the available supply  :wink: just need to be careful when you cant see the existing set up

Just remember the blue plug is NOT fused like a domestic 3 pin so needs to be on an appropriate breaker.  

My knowledge is from a maintenance aspect so asking a sparky would be advised  :wink:

AFAIK the blue 16 amp 3 pin plugs and socket follow the contenental pattern of fused spurs without fuses in the plugs ie the spurs and equipemtn are protected by the same fuse at the dis board, whereas our own 3 pin fused plug and sockets are frequently on a ring main, ring mains are an economy measure whereas spurs are in theory safer.
