About to wire up an IP44 plug to my extension lead for camping duties.

Am I correct in thinking the top larger pin is the earth?

Normally, but you can also get different position lugs on the plugs and sockets :confused:

Yeah big one is earth. Should be indicated on the reverse of the plug.
They are refered to as CEE-Forms. 16a in your case.

Cheers,

All ready to go camping, everything is rated for 2300Watt+ so should power the little ceramic heater I have for my tent this weekend.
