Full details

This heavy-duty SPARES2GO 16A Extension Lead is designed for demanding environments like construction sites and outdoor events, offering a robust 14-meter reach for generators and temporary power needs. Its primary benefit is reliable, weather-resistant power delivery in challenging conditions. However, its 16A rating means it is not suitable for high-draw appliances that exceed this limit.

FAQs

What is the maximum power this extension lead can handle?

The lead is rated for 16 Amps (A) at 240 Volts (V). The maximum wattage is approximately 3840W (16A x 240V). Do not exceed this limit.

Can this lead be used indoors?

While designed for heavy-duty outdoor and construction use, it can be used indoors provided the environment is suitable and connections are kept dry. It is not intended for general household appliance extension where lighter duty leads may suffice.

Is the cable waterproof?

The cable is weather and temperature resistant, making it suitable for outdoor use. However, ensure that the plug and socket connections remain dry to prevent electrical hazards.

What does the '2.5mm' refer to?

This refers to the cross-sectional area of the conductor wires within the cable, measured in square millimeters. A 2.5mm cable is thicker than standard cables and is better suited for carrying higher currents over longer distances with less voltage drop.

What type of plug does it have?

It has a standard 3-pin (2P+E) plug, commonly used for power connections on generators, caravans, and construction sites.

How should I store the extension lead?

Coil the lead loosely without sharp kinks and store it in a dry, protected place, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight, to prolong its lifespan and maintain its condition.

Troubleshooting

No power to connected device

Check that the extension lead is securely plugged into the power source. Verify the power source (generator, hookup) is active and supplying power. Inspect the extension lead for any visible damage. Ensure the connected device is functioning correctly and is within the 16A rating.

Overheating of the cable

This is a safety concern. Immediately disconnect power. Ensure the connected appliance's power draw does not exceed the 16A rating. Check for any kinks or damage to the cable. Avoid using the lead if overheating persists.

Intermittent power connection

Inspect both ends of the extension lead and the connection points for dirt, debris, or damage. Ensure plugs are fully seated. If the issue persists, the cable may be damaged internally and should be replaced.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction suitable for harsh environments.
  • Extra-long 14-meter cable provides significant reach.
  • Weather and temperature resistant for outdoor reliability.
  • Thick 2.5mm cable supports stable power delivery.
  • Standard 16A and 240V ratings ensure broad compatibility.

Cons

  • 16A limit may be insufficient for very high-power equipment.
  • Blue colour may not be ideal for all aesthetic requirements.
  • Requires a compatible 16A socket/outlet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply plug the 3-pin connector into a compatible 16A power source (e.g., generator outlet, campsite hookup point) and connect your appliance to the other end. Ensure connections are secure and dry before applying power.

Compatibility: This lead is designed for use with 240V, 16A power sources and appliances. It features a standard 3-pin (2P+E) plug and socket. Always check that your appliance's power requirements do not exceed the 16A rating.

Care: Store the lead in a dry, protected area when not in use. Inspect the cable, plug, and socket for any signs of damage (cuts, cracks, exposed wires) before each use. Clean with a damp cloth if necessary, ensuring it is completely dry before storage or use. Avoid dragging the cable over sharp objects or kinks.
