FAQs

What is the maximum current this extension lead can handle?

This extension lead is rated for a maximum of 16A.

What type of plug does it connect to on the industrial side?

It connects to a 16A CEE industrial plug socket with a 2P+E pin configuration, compliant with IEC 60309-2 standards.

Can I use this lead with a 32A industrial socket?

No, this lead is specifically designed for 16A industrial sockets. Using it with a 32A socket can be dangerous and will not function correctly.

What is the length of the cable?

The cable length is 350mm (0.35 meters).

Is this lead suitable for outdoor use?

While robust, it is recommended to use this lead in dry conditions. Always check the specific IP rating if outdoor use is critical, though this product does not specify an IP rating.

What is the voltage rating?

The lead is rated for 230V.

How do I clean the extension lead?

Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Ensure the lead is completely dry before use and never immerse it in water.

Troubleshooting

No power to the connected device

Ensure the 16A CEE plug is fully inserted into the industrial socket. Verify the industrial socket is providing power and is switched on. Check that the UK mains plug is securely connected to the extension lead's socket and that the device itself is powered on.

Overheating during use

Immediately disconnect the lead. Ensure the connected device's power draw does not exceed the lead's 16A rating. Check for any physical damage or kinks in the cable that might impede heat dissipation. If the problem persists, discontinue use.

Loose connection at the CEE plug

Inspect the CEE plug and socket for debris or damage. Ensure the plug is correctly oriented and fully seated in the socket. If the plug appears damaged, do not use and seek a replacement.
