Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum power I can draw through this lead?

The lead is rated for a maximum of 16A. At a standard UK voltage of 230V, this equates to approximately 3680 watts (W).

Can I use this lead in the rain?

Yes, the lead is IP44 rated, which means it is protected against splashing water and dust, making it suitable for outdoor use in most weather conditions. However, do not submerge it in water.

Does this extension lead have individual switches for each socket?

No, this specific model (009591) does not feature individual on/off switches for each of the 4 sockets.

What type of plug does it use?

It uses a standard 16A blue 3-pin male plug for connecting to hook-up points and features 4 x UK 3-pin (Type G, BS 1363) sockets for your appliances.

What is the length of the extension lead?

The cable length is 5 meters.

Is the blue cord just for aesthetics?

No, the bright blue cord is designed for high visibility, which is a safety feature to make the cable more noticeable and reduce the risk of trips or damage.

Can I use this with my 13A portable devices?

Yes, the 4 gang sockets are designed to accept standard UK 13A domestic plugs for portable devices.

Troubleshooting

No power to connected devices

Check that the 16A male plug is securely inserted into the power source. Verify the power source is active. Ensure the total power draw does not exceed the 16A limit. Inspect the cable and sockets for any visible damage.

One or more sockets not working

Check if the issue is with a specific socket or all sockets. If only one is faulty, it might indicate an internal wiring issue with that socket. Ensure other connected devices are not overloading the circuit. Try plugging a known working device into the suspect socket.

Cable is stiff in cold weather

The cable is rated for temperatures down to -5°C, but extreme cold can affect flexibility. Allow the cable to warm up slightly before attempting to wind or unwind it to prevent damage.

Poor connection at the hook-up point

Ensure the 16A male plug is clean and free from debris. Check that the socket on the power source is also clean and undamaged. A firm, secure connection is essential.
