Different regs.

Or the locking mechanisms use with IEC plugs.

Those too would be against regs for UK domestic use.

Now for the reality:

The PowerCon fails basic safety in two ways:

1. It will come apart without the use of a tool and exposes live
parts.

Yes - if you unscrew the cord grip and manage to pull out the flex a
very
small finger pushed inside the body could touch live parts.


2. It is intermatable ( with some force and ordinary wear) with
its
ibling - the Speakon.

Since it's not allowable for domestic use this isn't a problem. Even
although it would take an idiot to force one into the other.

Have I missed something. What the **** does it matter of whether
something is approved for domestic use or not, how in heaven's name
can it ever be policed?
