How to adjust 15 Amp plug in 5 Amp switch

[rkumbhar]

Hello,
I stay in India and got XBOX 360 few days back.
We have a 5 amp power supply in front of TV.
Check the image:


But the power supply plug is big ... Its a 16Amp plug.. check the img. Also check the power ratings of XBOX.


So how to adjust this 15Amp plug in the 5 Amp plug ..
I tried getting the 15 Amp Spike guard. but again its plug is big as 15amp plug.. Is there any kind of converter?

Kindly let me know the solution .

Regards,

Rahul Kumbhar

Cant use this 5amp socket for a 16 amp plug or your circuit will blow.

You cannot plug it into a normal plug. The fuse or MCB will trip.

If you want to use this particular Wall Socket to power your xbox then it is not recommended.

What you can do is :

Option 1.: Ask an electrician to change the Socket to 16Amps.

Option 2.: Purchase a extension box of high quality with 16Amps Socket or you can also ask the electrician to make a extension box (wodden) with 16Amps SS Combine Socket and a 16 Amps TOP.

Option 3.: Use some other Wall Socket in your house which has 16Amps Socket.

Note : I will recommend you to go with the first option. Basically in a home (domestic line), all the power is distributed from a single PHASE only, hence, if you change the Socket, you will get the necessary power to run your xbox and the socket will not FRY.
