1mm might not sound like a lot to those of us that have fully developed fingers.
But, have you ever watched a young child insert the plug into a socket?.
There was a push here not long ago for all kindergartens and primary schools to have the recessed style socket-outlets.
This was before we adopted the AS/NZS Standard and it got lost in the rush to make both sides of the Tasman the same.
All of the Kindergartens I've been in since, still have the standard (although shuttered)socket-outlets.
I tried one with Duspols, with a gap of 12mm you can light up the neon and get current out .
Oh and BTW, there were no RCD's on this installation either, the place was built in the 70's.
