Sealey Pl/13/3S Rubber Plug 13Amp Extra Heavy-Duty

Product Information

Whist we would never recommend that you submerse an extension lead, it’s good to know that just in case it ends up running through a puddle, it’s actually submersible to a depth of 100m.

Wi-Fi enabled control unit built into an EV extension lead, providing live and cumulative kWh readings via the Smart Life app. The unit also allows remote control and timers to be set. Yes, but only with the appropriate adaptor and if the charge rate can be reduced to 10A. How do I know the electricity supply is safe? The first thing I like about this plug in timer is how simple it is and how smart it looks. Some countdown timers are best kept hidden away, but this one actually looks good on the wall! And with just three buttons to fiddle with, it’s easy enough for anyone to get the hang of. BS 1363-1:1995 A4:2012 the British Standard for 13A plugs, specifically states that flex must not exceed 1.5mmsq with the line ‘having nominal conductor cross-sectional areas not exceeding 1.5 mmsq’. Therefore, other than manufacturer fitted moulded plugs, 2.5mmsq flex should not be terminated in a 13A plug. Plug-in meter with Wi-Fi connectivity, providing live and cumulative kWh readings on the unit's screen and via the Smart Life app.Use PVC or blue ‘arctic’ flex, which despite frequent claims that it is ‘heavy duty’, the cable is far from it. It is prone to mechanical and UV damage and is not recommended for use outdoors or below 5°C. Plug in timers are a really handy product to have in the home. They can save you money, deter burglars and ensure you come home to a warm, bright house on cold winter nights. Timer plugs are also ideal for specialised functions such as Christmas lights, greenhouse heaters, grow lamps, fish tank pumps and any other item that needs to be turned on for certain periods of time.

The onset of charging can be delayed by 1-12 hours from the button being pressed, with the limitation that a time cannot be set to stop charging. Irrespective of whether an extension lead is used, it is important that you consider how safe the supply may be before plugging in your charger. Domestic electrical installations can deteriorate with use and age. It is therefore important that a periodic inspection is carried out every 10 years for an owner-occupied home and every five years for rented properties or HMOs.H07RN-F rubber cables do not degrade over time if used up to the full 13A, as this is well within their safe load limit. Type 2 - Designed by the German manufacturer Mennekes, the connector has 7 pins. It was adopted as the EU standard for EVs in 2014 and is therefore the most common EV connector in the UK. It enables single and three phase charging at 3.7kW-7.4kW AC. Most electric vehicles (EVs) are supplied with a portable domestic charger designed to charge the vehicle when access to a charging point is not possible. Rather confusingly it is commonly referred to as a 'granny charger', as it is a lead to use when visiting relatives such as your granny! Most timer plugs can be set for a range of times so you can, for example, turn lamps on and off twice a day. Some plug in timers also feature a countdown timer which is handy when you want something to turn off after a certain amount of time. This feature is great for charging appliances and devices. This must be the easiest plug in timer to operate. There’s just one button to press! The single on/off button cycles through the countdown timers and sets them running too. Even if you’re a complete technophobe, this shouldn’t be difficult to master. You can set countdown timers from 15 minutes all the way up to eight hours.

We are often asked the question of whether an extension should include an RCD and the simple answer is yes if ANY of the following apply: Control unit built into an EV extension lead, to enable charging start and stop times to be set using a manual timer or Wi-Fi control (with the added bonus of energy monitoring). If your car does not have a granny charger, or it is too short, we supply a standard 5m and 10m charger, and a 5m advanced charger with a range of additional functionality. When purchasing an EV, we would always recommend the professional installation of a wall charger. This ensures that the supply used has been tested to be safe and will achieve a faster charging time. When not at home, it is best to use a public charging point. Most EV manufacturers recommend that granny charger are not used as the sole means of charging. The 1.5mmsq vs 2.5mmsq flex debate seems to be the most common one with regards to EV leads on on-line forums, and sadly the most uninformed. For lengths of up to 20m, our advice is that the 1.5mmsq flex used in all of our leads is the best option for the following reasons (apologies for getting rather technical!):Yes, although standard travel adaptors must never be used with an EV granny charger. Most are only designed to power low current appliances and some often dangerously do not connect the earth pin.

Type 2 untethered chargers have a type 2 connector fitted to the unit itself, not to a permanently connected cable (left). They are common for both domestic and public chargers. A separate type 2 to type 2 cable, available in a range of lengths, is required to connect the charger to an EV. There are also modes for turning things on or off on specific days, multiple days of the week or your own chosen pattern. What I really like about this plug-in timer is the random mode though. If you’re off on holiday, simply plug in a light and it will turn on and off randomly to confuse any would-be burglars. One of the benefits of a plug in timer is that they use very little electricity. In fact, you are unlikely to notice any increase in your electricity bill.

Digital timer experts ORIDGET have created a range of handy timers for all sorts of uses. With an enormous LCD screen and tons of programmable features, the TE02 digital plug is one of the best plug-in timers on the market right now. The large screen makes things easy to read, and it even has its own battery to keep the settings in case of a power cut. You can use it as a countdown timer, which makes it ideal for setting a bedside lamp to go off even after you’ve fallen asleep! It’s these little things that will save you money on your electricity bill.
