|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5m | 32A | 60A | 13.8 kW | <1V (~0.4%) | ✅ Excellent |
| 10m | 32A | 50A | 11.5 kW | <2V (~0.8%) | ✅ Excellent |
| 15m | 32A | 42A | 9.7 kW | ~3V (~1.3%) | ✅ Excellent |
| 20m | 32A | 38A | 8.7 kW | ~4V (~1.7%) | ✅ Excellent |
| 25m | 32A | 35A | 8.0 kW | ~5.3V (~2.3%) | ✅ Safe |
| 30m | 32A | 32A | 7.4 kW | ~6.4V (~2.8%) | ✅ Max Recommended |
| 40m | 28A | 30A | 6.9 kW | ~8.5V (~3.7%) | ⚠️ Max Voltage Compliance |
Tested under 230V nominal supply. UK regulations limit voltage drop to 11.5V (5%). Our 4mm² cable safely handles full 32A up to 30 metres. For 40m, we recommend reducing load to 28A.
Compatibility & Safety Notes
This extension lead is compatible with various applications requiring a 32A hookup. Ensure that the total load does not exceed the rated capacity for safe operation. Always inspect the cable and connectors for damage before use, particularly in outdoor settings.
If you need to connect multiple devices, consider our 32 Amp 230 Volt Two Way Splitter. It allows you to power two devices simultaneously from a single source.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum recommended length for 32A on 4mm² cable?
The permissible load depends on cable length, installation conditions, supply protection and voltage drop. Do not use a fixed 30 m or 40 m rule as a substitute for assessing the actual circuit.
Is this cable Made in the UK?
Yes. All our 32A extension leads are manufactured, assembled, and tested in Eastleigh, Hampshire by HDIUK.
Is it suitable for outdoor use?
Yes – the cable is Arctic-grade, and the IP44 CEE connectors ensure it can withstand outdoor conditions.
Can I use this cable for electric vehicle charging?
Only use an extension if the EV charger manufacturer permits it and the supply, connectors, protection and cable length are suitable. This is a power extension lead, not an EV charging controller.
What should I check before using this extension lead?
Always inspect the cable and connectors for any signs of damage and ensure the total load does not exceed the rated capacity.
