Product Information

Full details

This Pro-Elec travel adaptor is designed for international travelers needing to use their devices in the UK. Its primary benefit is converting plugs from all continents to a standard UK mains plug, ensuring you can power your electronics anywhere. A key consideration is that it converts *to* a UK plug, meaning it's for use *in* the UK, not for adapting UK plugs for use elsewhere. It features a robust 13A fuse for safety and supports a 230V rating.

FAQs

Does this adapter convert voltage?

No, this adapter only converts the physical plug type. It does not change the voltage. Ensure your device is compatible with the UK's 230V supply.

What is the maximum amperage this adapter can handle?

The adapter is fitted with a 13A fuse and has a maximum current rating of 13A.

Can I use this adapter to plug UK devices into sockets in other countries?

No, this adapter is specifically designed to convert foreign plugs *to* a UK plug for use *in* the UK. It cannot be used to adapt UK plugs for use in other countries.

Is this adapter safe for all my electronics?

The adapter is BS5733/A approved and fitted with a 13A fuse for safety. However, always check that your device's voltage rating is compatible with 230V. High-power devices should not exceed the 13A limit.

What does 'BS5733/A Approved' mean?

This means the adapter meets specific British safety standards, ensuring it has undergone testing for safety and performance.

How do I replace the fuse?

If the fuse needs replacing, carefully open the fuse compartment (usually accessible via a small slot on the plug pins). Remove the old fuse and insert a new 13A fuse of the same type, ensuring it is correctly seated before closing the compartment.

What types of plugs can I plug into this adapter?

It is designed to accept plugs from all continents, covering most international plug configurations.

Troubleshooting

Device not powering on when plugged into the adaptor

Ensure the device plug is fully inserted into the adaptor's socket. Check that the adaptor is securely plugged into the UK wall socket. Verify the UK wall socket is functioning by testing another appliance. Ensure the device itself is functioning and compatible with 230V.

Adaptor feels loose in the UK wall socket

Different UK sockets may have slightly varying tolerances. Ensure you are using the correct UK plug configuration. If persistently loose, consider that this specific socket might not provide a firm grip, but the adapter itself is likely functioning correctly if power is transmitted.

Fuse blows frequently

The connected device may be drawing more than 13A, or there might be a fault with the device. Discontinue use with that device and check its power requirements. Replace the fuse only with another 13A fuse.

Adaptor does not accept a specific foreign plug

While designed for 'all continents', extremely old or non-standard plug designs may not fit. Ensure the plug is aligned correctly. If it still doesn't fit, the plug type may be incompatible.

  • Convert From: Designed to accept plugs from all continents (e.g., North America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia).
  • Convert To: Specifically converts to a UK Type G plug.
  • Voltage: Compatible with 230V systems. Note: This adapter *does not* convert voltage. Ensure your device is rated for 230V or is a dual-voltage appliance.
  • Current Rating: Maximum 13A. Do not exceed this limit.

Care:

  • Keep the adaptor clean and dry. Use a dry or slightly damp cloth for cleaning; avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
  • Periodically check the pins and casing for any signs of damage. Do not use if damaged.
  • Ensure the fuse is correctly seated. Replace only with a 13A fuse of the same type if necessary.
