Frequently Asked Questions
What does a four-gang extension lead mean?
A four-gang extension lead provides four socket positions. The current Lectrolite listing specifies a 2m lead and a 13A rating; that rating applies to the lead's total permitted load, not separately to each socket.
Can I plug a heater into an extension lead?
Follow the heater manufacturer's instructions. Portable high-power heaters are generally best plugged directly into a suitable wall socket rather than an overloaded extension.
What plug fuse rating do I need?
Use the fuse rating specified by the appliance manufacturer or a competent professional. Never substitute a higher rating simply to stop a fuse blowing.
What does a plug-in digital timer do?
A compatible timer switches a connected appliance according to programmed settings and its stated electrical rating. Check operating instructions and connected-load restrictions.
Can I connect two extension leads together?
Daisy-chaining extension leads is not recommended because it can increase overheating and overload risks. Use a suitable, correctly rated lead instead.
