Masterplug 6 Socket Extension Lead - White

Surge protection safeguards your electronic devices from sudden, short increases in voltage (power surges). These surges can be caused by lightning strikes, power outages, or even the switching of high-power appliances. Without protection, these surges can damage or destroy sensitive electronic components.

No, this extension lead is designed for indoor use only. Using it outdoors could expose it to moisture and environmental damage, posing a safety risk and voiding the warranty.

The extension lead is rated for 13 Amps. For a standard UK mains voltage of 230V, this equates to a maximum power handling of approximately 2990 Watts (13A x 230V). Ensure the total power consumption of your connected devices does not exceed this limit.

The extension lead features an LED indicator for surge protection. When this light is on, the surge protection is active. If the light goes off, the surge protection may have been compromised or exhausted, and the unit should be replaced.

You can plug in appliances up to the 13A rating (approx. 2990W). Always check the power consumption of your appliance to ensure it does not exceed the lead's capacity. High-wattage items like electric heaters, kettles, or irons should be used with caution and ideally plugged directly into a wall socket if possible, especially if other devices are also drawing power from the extension lead.

Please refer to the product packaging or the manufacturer's official website for specific warranty information, as warranty periods can vary.

No, it is not recommended or safe to connect multiple extension leads together (daisy-chaining). This can overload the leads, create a fire hazard, and reduce the effectiveness of surge protection.

Check that the extension lead is securely plugged into the wall socket. Ensure the wall socket is functioning correctly by testing it with another appliance. Check if the circuit breaker has tripped and reset it if necessary. Verify that the total power consumption of connected devices does not exceed the lead's rating.

Ensure the USB cable is properly connected to both the device and the USB port. Try using a different USB cable. Check if other devices connected to the extension lead are drawing significant power, which might affect USB output. If charging a device that requires high power, ensure it's connected to a port capable of delivering that power and that other USB devices are not drawing the maximum combined output.

If the surge protection LED is off, it may indicate that the surge protection has been compromised or is not active. Unplug the extension lead and try plugging it into a different socket. If the LED remains off, the surge protection may have been exhausted due to a power surge, and the unit should be replaced.

A slight warmth during heavy use is normal, especially when multiple high-power devices are connected. However, if the lead becomes excessively hot, unplug it immediately and reduce the number or power of connected devices. Ensure the lead is not covered or in a confined space where heat can dissipate. If overheating persists, the unit may be faulty and should be replaced.
