Product Information
Full details
The Bachmann Selly contact socket combination in white is designed for users needing a reliable, no-frills power extension with easy plug access. Its key benefit is the angled sockets that facilitate convenient plugging and unplugging of devices. A potential caveat is its IP20 rating, making it unsuitable for wet or dusty environments. This unit provides three 230V earthed sockets, a 3-meter power cord, and a robust plastic housing.

FAQs
Is this power strip suitable for outdoor use?
No, the Bachmann Selly power strip has an IP20 rating, which means it is only protected against solid objects and is not designed for exposure to moisture or outdoor elements.
Can I connect a high-power appliance like a heater?
Yes, the power strip can handle up to 3680W, which is sufficient for most standard heaters. However, always ensure the total load, including other connected devices, does not exceed this limit.
Does this power strip have surge protection?
This model does not explicitly state surge protection features. It is a basic power extension unit designed for power distribution.
Is the unit child-proof?
No, the sockets are described as 'non child-proof'. Extra caution should be taken when placing this unit in households with young children.
What is the difference between this model (387.271S) and other Bachmann models?
The 'S' in 387.271S typically denotes specific configurations. This model features three 230V earthed sockets, a 3-meter cable, and a white matte finish, with sockets angled at 35°.
Can I replace the 3-meter cable?
The cable is permanently attached to the unit and is not designed to be user-replaceable. Attempting to replace it could be hazardous and will void any warranty.
Troubleshooting
No power to connected devices
Ensure the power strip is securely plugged into a functioning wall outlet. Check if the wall outlet itself has power by testing with another device. Verify that the total power draw of connected devices does not exceed the strip's maximum rating.
Devices intermittently lose power
This could indicate an overloaded circuit. Reduce the number of devices or switch to devices with lower power consumption. Also, check the connection of the power strip's plug to the wall socket for a firm fit.
One or more sockets are not working
If the entire strip is powered (other sockets work), but one socket is faulty, this might indicate an internal issue with that specific socket. Try plugging a known working device into the suspected faulty socket. If it doesn't work, and other sockets do, it's best to replace the power strip.
