Product Information

Full details

This Kenable 3-gang UK mains extension lead is designed for home users needing to connect multiple devices to a single power outlet. Its key benefit is providing three individually switched sockets with clear LED power indication, while a caveat is that mounting screws are not included. The extension features a 2-meter cable, a standard UK mains plug, and three Type G sockets, making it suitable for indoor use with devices up to 13A.

FAQs

What is the maximum current this extension lead can handle?

The extension lead has a maximum current rating of 13 Amps (13A), which is suitable for most standard household appliances.

Can I use this extension lead outdoors?

No, this extension lead is designed and rated for indoor use only.

Does this extension lead have surge protection?

This model does not include surge protection. It is a basic mains extension lead for power distribution.

How do I mount this extension lead to a wall?

The extension lead has keyholes on the back for mounting. You will need to provide your own suitable screws for the surface you wish to attach it to.

What type of plug does it use?

It uses a standard UK Type G (BS 1363) mains plug.

Are the sockets individually fused?

No, the sockets are individually switched but share a single 13A rating. They are not individually fused.

What is the cable length?

The cable length is 2 meters.

Troubleshooting

No power to connected devices

Ensure the main UK plug is securely inserted into the wall socket. Check that the individual switches on the extension lead are in the 'on' position. Verify that the LED indicator light is illuminated. Test the wall socket with another device to confirm it is functioning.

LED indicator light not working

Although the extension lead may still function, an unlit LED could indicate a fault. Try connecting the extension lead to a different, known-working socket. If the LED remains off, consider replacing the unit.

Intermittent power or flickering lights

This could indicate a loose connection within the extension lead or an overloaded circuit. Ensure all plugs are firmly seated in the sockets. Check the total power draw of connected devices against the 13A limit. If the issue persists, discontinue use and replace the extension lead.
