Product Information
Full details
The PRO ELEC PELB1984 1 Gang Extension Lead is designed for users needing to extend the reach of a single power outlet in homes, offices, or workshops. Its primary benefit is the generous 7.5-meter cable length, reducing clutter and improving accessibility to power. A potential caveat is its single-gang design, which limits it to powering one device at a time. Key features include a durable white finish, a 13A/250V rating, and compliance with BS1363/A standards for safety and reliability.

FAQs
What is the maximum wattage this extension lead can handle?
The extension lead is rated at 13A and 250V. To calculate the maximum wattage, multiply the amperage by the voltage (13A * 250V = 3250W). However, it's always recommended to use appliances well within this limit for optimal performance and safety.
Can I plug a multi-way adapter into this extension lead?
While technically possible, it is not recommended for safety reasons. This extension lead is designed for single-device use. Plugging in a multi-way adapter can overload the lead, potentially causing overheating or fire hazards, and may void the warranty.
Is this extension lead suitable for outdoor use?
No, this extension lead is designed for indoor use only. It is not weatherproof and should not be exposed to moisture or adverse weather conditions.
What does BS1363/A compliance mean?
BS1363/A is a British Standard that specifies safety requirements for 13A fused plugs, socket outlets, and connection units. Compliance ensures the product has met rigorous safety and performance tests for the UK market.
How should I store the extension lead when not in use?
When not in use, coil the cable loosely and store the extension lead in a dry, safe place, away from potential damage, heat sources, or moisture.
What is the warranty period for this PRO ELEC extension lead?
Please refer to the product packaging or PRO ELEC's official website for specific warranty information, as warranty periods can vary.
Troubleshooting
Extension lead not powering the device
Ensure the plug is fully inserted into the wall socket and the device is correctly plugged into the extension lead. Check that the wall socket itself is functioning by testing it with another appliance. Verify the device is switched on.
Overheating during use
Disconnect the extension lead immediately. Ensure the cable is fully uncoiled to allow for proper heat dissipation. Check that the total power consumption of the connected device does not exceed the 13A rating of the lead. If overheating persists, discontinue use and contact customer support.
Visible damage to the cable or plug
Do not use the extension lead if you notice any cuts, fraying, or damage to the cable or plug. This poses a significant safety risk. Replace the extension lead with a new one.
