Now I know that the protective device is for the cable, but I am concerned that the socket can only take 13+7. Should I down rate the protective device for the socket and not the cable in this...
What's this out of? Brass cup about 2" diameter, porcelain ring inside, half filled with strange flaky powder with shiny specks of mica in it. There's another two of them in the unit. Over a century old.
