Product Information

Full details

This kenable 2 Amp Mini 3-pin round plug is designed for industrial applications where a compact and unfused connection is required. Its primary benefit is providing a secure and reliable power connection for low-power industrial equipment. A potential caveat to consider is its 2 Amp rating, which limits its use to specific low-draw devices. Key features include its unfused design, round pins, and adherence to BS546 standards for industrial use.

FAQs

What does 'unfused' mean for this plug?

An unfused plug does not contain a protective fuse. This means that overcurrent protection must be provided by the circuit or equipment it is connected to. It is suitable for applications where the risk of overcurrent is low or managed externally.

What is the main difference between this mini plug and a standard 3-pin plug?

The main differences are its smaller size, the use of round pins instead of rectangular ones, and its specific rating (2A) and unfused design, making it suitable for specific industrial applications rather than general domestic use.

Can this plug be used for general household appliances?

No, this plug is specifically designed for industrial applications with its unique pin configuration and low amperage rating. It is not suitable for typical domestic appliances which usually require higher amperage and standard UK plug types.

What does BS546 refer to?

BS546 is a British Standard that specifies plugs, socket-outlets, and socket-outlet adaptors. This plug is manufactured to meet the requirements of this standard for industrial use.

What is the maximum voltage this plug can handle?

The plug is rated at 250V, meaning it can safely handle voltages up to 250 Volts.

How do I determine if my equipment is compatible?

Check your equipment's power label. If it specifies a power draw of 2 Amps or less and requires a 3-pin round pin connector compatible with BS546 standards, it should be compatible. Always consult an electrician for certainty.

Troubleshooting

Plug not powering device

Verify that the device's power requirement does not exceed the plug's 2A rating. Ensure all connections are secure and correctly wired by a qualified electrician. Check that the power source is active.

Loose connection

Re-seat the plug firmly into the socket. If the issue persists, the socket or the plug may be damaged and require inspection or replacement by a professional.

Plug casing damage

Immediately disconnect the power and do not use the plug. Replace the damaged plug with a new one suitable for the application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a hard-wired plug intended for installation by a qualified electrician. It requires wiring the appropriate conductors to the designated terminals within the plug body according to electrical safety standards.

Compatibility: Compatible with industrial sockets designed for 3-pin round plug configurations and rated for 250V and 2A. Ensure your equipment's power requirement does not exceed the plug's 2 Amp rating.

Care: Keep the plug clean and free from dust and debris. Periodically inspect the pins and casing for any signs of damage. Avoid exposing the plug to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures outside of its specified industrial operating range. Cleaning should be done with a dry or slightly damp cloth only, ensuring the plug is disconnected from the power source.
