FAQs
What is the maximum power this extension lead can handle?
This extension lead is rated for 13 amps, which is suitable for most standard household appliances. However, always check the power consumption of your devices to ensure they do not collectively exceed this rating.
Can I use this extension lead outdoors?
This extension lead is designed for indoor use only. Using it outdoors can be a safety hazard and may damage the product.
Does this extension lead have surge protection?
No, this particular Pro-Elec extension lead model does not feature surge protection. For sensitive electronics, consider a surge-protected extension lead.
How do I use the hanging cut-out?
The cut-out on the back of the unit is designed to allow you to hang the extension lead on a hook, nail, or screw. This is useful for tidying up workspaces or keeping the lead accessible.
What is the warranty period for this product?
Information regarding the specific warranty period is typically provided by the retailer at the point of purchase or on the product packaging. Please refer to your purchase documentation.
Can I connect appliances with higher amperage than 13A?
No, you must not connect appliances that require more than 13 amps. Doing so can overload the extension lead, posing a fire risk and potentially damaging your appliances and the extension lead itself.
Troubleshooting
No power to connected devices
Check that the extension lead is securely plugged into the wall socket. Ensure the wall socket is functional by testing it with another appliance. Verify that the total load of connected devices does not exceed the 13 amp limit.
Overheating
Immediately unplug the extension lead if it feels excessively hot. This indicates the connected devices are drawing too much power. Reduce the number of devices or their power consumption. Inspect the lead for any damage.
Loose plug connection
Ensure the plugs of your devices are fully inserted into the extension lead sockets. If the sockets themselves feel loose, discontinue use and consider replacing the lead.
