So like me you thought it was OK to plug a 10amp device into a 15amp outlet.

Even if you went to an electrical wholesaler like AWM I still wouldn't ask advice, at the end of the day they won't be qualified electricians behind the counter, it would be rare to find someone with experience in the industry working behind those counters unless its an old bloke who wants off the tools, but usually they'd become TAFE teachers as the money is way better.

The pay rate for A grades vs working the counter at electrical wholesalers is too huge of a gap to attract experience in those places I reckon.
