Description
Up to 75 m. Fully tested. Voltage-drop data included. Built for professionals.
Ultra Heavy Duty, UK-Made, and Certified for Demanding Applications
This 4 mm² extension cable is designed for power-critical environments where reliability and safety matter. Ideal for long-distance applications up to 75 metres, with real-world voltage-drop performance measured and confirmed under load.
Introducing the HDIUK 4 mm² Arctic-Grade CEE Plug to Coupler Extension Lead
This lead is built for serious industrial, construction, and event use. Manufactured in the UK and individually tested for polarity, insulation resistance, and earth continuity, it provides stable and safe current distribution without compromise.
Key Features
- 4 mm² conductors: lower resistance = less heat = longer, safer runs
- Individually tested & serialised: earth, insulation and polarity certified
- Weatherproof IP44 connectors: built for year-round outdoor use
- Voltage-drop tested: live test at 30 m showed only 2 % drop under 1.5 kW load
- Length options: available from 10 m to 75 m
- Safe continuous use: full 16 A rating up to 50 m
Why Choose 4 mm² for 16 A Loads?
For distances over 30 m, 2.5 mm² cables can suffer from voltage-drop and heat build-up. Our 4 mm² version ensures:
- Voltage stability on longer runs
- Compliance with UK wiring regs (max 5 % drop)
- Cooler running = safer operation
Voltage-Drop Performance & Load Ratings
| Length | Recommended Load | Peak Current | Max kW @ 230 V | Voltage Drop | Status | 
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 m | 16 A | 43 A | 9.9 kW | < 1.5 V (~0.6 %) | ✅ Excellent | 
| 20 m | 16 A | 38 A | 8.7 kW | < 3 V (~1.3 %) | ✅ Excellent | 
| 30 m | 16 A | 32 A | 7.4 kW | ~ 4.5 V (~2 %) | ✅ Approved (Field-Tested) | 
| 40 m | 14–15 A | 27 A | 6.2 kW | ~ 6 V (~2.6 %) | ✅ Safe | 
| 50 m | 13–14 A | 22 A | 5.1 kW | ~ 7.5 V (~3.3 %) | ✅ Safe | 
| 60 m | 12 A | 18 A | 4.1 kW | ~ 9 V (~3.9 %) | ✅ Safe* | 
| 75 m | 10 A | 14 A | 3.2 kW | ~ 11.5 V (~5 %) | ⚠️ Max Drop Limit | 
*Close to UK limit — use supervised loads or consider 6 mm² for continuous 18 A.
