FAQs

What is the maximum power this extension lead can handle?

This extension lead is rated at 13 Amperes (13A), conforming to BS 1363/A standards. Always ensure the total power drawn by all connected devices does not exceed this limit.

Can I use this extension lead outdoors?

No, this extension lead is designed for indoor use only and should not be exposed to moisture or outdoor elements.

Does this extension lead have surge protection?

This product description does not mention surge protection. It is a standard extension lead and does not offer protection against power surges.

How do I mount this extension lead on the wall?

The extension lead has keyholes on the back. You will need to use appropriate screws or wall fixings (not included) that fit through these keyholes to secure it to a wall.

Can I plug any UK appliance into this lead?

Yes, as long as the appliance uses a standard UK Type G plug and its power consumption does not exceed the 13A rating of the extension lead.

Does it have individual switches for each socket?

No, this particular model does not feature individual on/off switches for each of the three sockets.

What are the dimensions of the extension lead?

The dimensions are approximately 22cm in length, 6cm in width, and 2.5cm in depth.

Troubleshooting

No power to any of the outlets

Ensure the plug is securely inserted into a functioning wall socket. Check if the wall socket itself is working by plugging in another device. Verify that the total load on the extension lead does not exceed its 13A rating, which could trip an internal fuse (if applicable to the wall socket).

One or more outlets not working, but others are

This may indicate an internal fault with the specific outlet. Try connecting the device to a different outlet on the lead. If the issue persists, it is recommended to replace the extension lead.

Cable feels warm or hot to the touch

This is a sign of potential overload. Immediately disconnect the extension lead from the wall socket and unplug some of the connected devices. Reconnect and monitor. If the cable continues to heat up, do not use the lead and consider a replacement or a lead with a higher amperage rating.
