Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this extension lead safer than standard models?

The fitted RCD protection provides additional protection against certain earth-leakage faults. It does not make every fault safe or replace correctly rated upstream overcurrent protection.

Can I use this lead outdoors in wet conditions?

Yes – its weatherproof design keeps out rain and dust, making it ideal for temporary outdoor installations.

What type of cable is used?

It features a durable Arctic-grade cable that remains flexible in low temperatures, ensuring safe outdoor use.

Can I connect this to a 32A or 3-phase socket?

Use an adapter with suitable protection for the lower-rated lead and connected equipment. A change of connector does not reduce the supply breaker rating; the cable, connectors and protection must be correctly matched.

Is this lead UK-made and tested?

Yes – every extension lead is assembled and tested in the United Kingdom to meet full safety compliance standards.
