FAQs

What is surge protection?

Surge protection helps to safeguard your electronic devices from sudden increases in voltage (surges or spikes) that can occur on the power line. These surges can potentially damage sensitive components.

What is the maximum power this extension lead can handle?

This extension lead has a current rating of 13A and a supply voltage of 240V, meaning it can handle a maximum power of 3120 Watts (13A x 240V). Ensure the total power consumption of your connected devices does not exceed this limit.

Does this extension lead have individual switches for each outlet?

No, this specific model (PELB1989) does not feature individual switches for each outlet. Power is controlled for both outlets by the main connection to the wall socket.

What type of plug does this extension lead use?

It uses a standard UK Type G plug, which is compatible with all UK mains wall sockets.

Can I use this extension lead outdoors?

No, this extension lead is designed for indoor use only and should be kept away from moisture and damp conditions.

What is the length of the cable?

The cable length for this model (PELB1989) is 1 meter.

Does it comply with safety standards?

Yes, it complies with BS1363/A standards, which are the relevant British safety standards for mains accessories.

Troubleshooting

Connected devices are not powering on

Check that the extension lead is securely plugged into the wall socket. Ensure the wall socket itself is functional by testing it with another device. Verify that the neon power indicator light on the extension lead is illuminated.

Neon power indicator is not lit

This indicates a loss of power. Check the wall socket connection and ensure the fuse in the plug (if applicable) is intact. If the problem persists, the extension lead may be faulty and should not be used.

Intermittent power to connected devices

This could be due to a loose connection at the wall socket or within one of the device plugs. Ensure all plugs are firmly inserted. If the issue continues, the extension lead or one of the connected devices may have a fault.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This extension lead is compatible with all standard UK mains plugs (Type G) and operates at a 240V supply voltage. It is suitable for use with most household electronics, computers, and appliances.
