FAQs

What is the maximum power rating for this lead?

The lead is rated for a maximum current of 16A and supports voltages up to 240V. Each of the four UK 3-pin sockets can handle standard 13A appliances.

Is this lead safe to use in the rain?

The lead has an IP44 rating, which means it is protected against splashes of water. It is suitable for outdoor use in conditions like light rain, but the socket outlets should not be submerged in water.

Can I use this lead with any caravan hook-up point?

Yes, this lead is designed to be compatible with standard UK caravan and motorhome mains electric hook-up points that accept a 16A blue plug.

Does the lead have an on/off switch?

No, this extension lead does not feature an integrated on/off switch. Power control must be managed by plugging and unplugging the devices or the main hook-up connection.

What is the purpose of the blue cord?

The blue cord is for high visibility, making the lead easier to see and reducing the risk of tripping, especially in outdoor environments or during low-light conditions.

How should I clean the extension lead?

Clean the lead with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning agents. Always ensure the lead is unplugged before cleaning.

What are the operating temperature limits?

The lead is designed to operate reliably in temperatures ranging from -5°C to +60°C.

Troubleshooting

No power to connected devices.

Check that the 16A male plug is fully inserted into the power source. Verify that the power source itself is active. Ensure no individual device has overloaded the circuit, and check if any connected devices have their own safety cut-offs. Inspect the lead for any visible damage.

Intermittent power supply.

Ensure the connections at both ends of the lead are secure and free from dirt or debris. Check for any kinks or damage along the cable length. If the issue persists, the lead may be faulty and should be replaced.

Sockets feel loose.

This could indicate wear or damage to the sockets. While minor looseness might still function, persistent looseness or any signs of damage warrant replacement of the extension lead for safety.
