Product Information

Extension leads can provide protection against various types of leakage currents. These can occur due to lightning strikes or overvoltages. The protection is limited to a certain amperage in each case. The higher the selected amperage, the higher the maximum surge protection offered by the extension lead. What are surges? This lead not only allows you to extend the reach of your home devices, but you can also power them on and off remotely.

It’s also rarely safe to plug one extension lead into another, a process called “daisy-chaining” because this will significantly raise the risk of overloading the circuit. Are extension leads waterproof? The maximum surge current for surge protection extension leads indicates how much current can be discharged without destroying the protective device. The higher the value, the more smaller overvoltage peaks the extension leads with surge protection can absorb without damaging connected devices. When do I need surge protection? There are two switches to control the front six outlets plus the USB ports and another to control the further six outlets, which adds to the safety and energy-saving features of the unit itself. Power strips with a USB charger offer the possibility of charging end devices such as smartphones, tablets, cameras and many more directly at the power strip with USB charger.brennenstuhl® offers extension leads for almost every application. From the common 3-way power strip to the sophisticated high-tech extension lead with surge protection, automatic function and other intelligent features, brennenstuhl® extension leads meet the most diverse requirements. brennenstuhl® power strips are available with illuminated on/off switch, increased touch protection, with USB charger, surge protection, main-follow function and many other features. Comprehensive Research: Our team dedicates extensive time and effort to research and analyze products, so you can make informed decisions. Electrical Safety First has devised a calculator so you can estimate the power consumption of the appliances, devices or tools that you’re planning to connect to your extension lead. For general household use, you probably won’t need to worry too much as items like lamps or laptop or mobile phone chargers are very low in wattage, less than 100W in general, and even TVs and Hi-Fi components tend to draw hundreds rather than thousands of watts. That said, it pays to be vigilant: seemingly innocuous small household items such as hairdryers, irons and kettles can consume the best part of 3KW each – and if you’re thinking about electric lawnmowers and power tools, these too can demand kilowatts of power. The lead is hot to touch: This suggests that you are overloading your extension cord beyond its capacity and marks a real safety hazard, as noted above.

The octagonal shape means that cable distribution is much easier so that everything will look much neater and you won’t have too much cable riot going on.

Best extension leads you can buy in 2023

Further questions about surge protection extension leadsare also answered in the brennenstuhl® world of themes. A further word of warning: the maximum power handling of longer extension cables, such as cable reels designed for indoor or outdoor use, depends on the cable being completely unwound. If you’re planning on using high powered electric garden tools, then the cable must be unwound to prevent excessive heat build up in the cable reel. Where a wound cable reel might only handle 1,000 watts (1KW), the same reel may be rated at around 3,300 watts (3.3KW) when the cable is unwound to its full length. And similarly, don’t be tempted to tightly wind up a standard extension cable in the name of neatness if you’re going to be using it with power hungry appliances – items with a high power draw can cause the cable to heat up dramatically and create a fire hazard. So, whether it’s individual strings of outdoor lights, festoon lighting, a hot tub or even a swimming pool pump and filter the housing will ensure that all the electrics are kept watertight.

This means without a couple of extension leads to hand you’re going to be running around your house maniacally plugging and unplugging like a telephone switchboard operator from the fifties.This electrical adapter is not for outdoor use. It will hold 12x UK 3-pin plugs. Fitted with a British Standard 3-pin plug. The power cable length is 2M (200cm). Size with stand: Height 46cm, Width: 5cm. Depth of stand: 14cm. brennenstuhl® has high-quality extension leads with 19" or 10" format. These extension leads for control cabinet technology in industrial quality are suitable for installation in network or server cabinets where the inch format is used. IP protection class for extension leads?The IP44 protection rating indicates that the device is protected against foreign bodies and splashing water and that the extension lead is therefore suitable for outdoor use. Charging devices even faster is possible with the technology for fast charging: Power Delivery.With Power Delivery technology, connected devices such as laptops, smartphones or tablets are charged up to 70% faster. Thereby, the USB charging cable connection type C is used.
