   Thanks for the reply Andy.   
      
   I have cable marked (UL) SVT E56356 60 C 300 V 18AWGX3C FT2   
     C(UL) SVT 60 C 300 V 3X0.824 mm^2 (18AWG) LF Canada Wire.   
      
   Adequate?   
      
   The socket illustrated here is stamped "660 W  250 V".

   Acceptable?   
      
   Otherwise, is a porcelain socket acceptable?   
   Is a line switch better or worse than a switch in the socket?   
      
   Thx,                               ... Peter E.
