Safety and care advice
Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs
How does the RCD protection device work?
The inline RCD (Residual Current Device) is a life-saving safety feature built into our extension leads. It constantly monitors the electric current flowing through the cable. If it detects even a tiny imbalance which usually indicates a dangerous leak or a potential electric shock, it cuts the power instantly to keep you safe. It is an active (non-latching type) safety unit, meaning it trips to 'OFF' whenever the power supply is interrupted, so you must press the RESET button each time you plug in.
Full operating instructions are supplied with the extension lead.
Should I set the charge rate on my portable charger beyond 10A?
No. Even if your charger allows for higher settings, it’s best to stick to 10A or lower. Our extension lead is compatible with standard UK 13A sockets, and although these may supply 13A for short periods, drawing the full 13A for extended periods can cause the connected plug (and/or socket) to overheat. To ensure your equipment and wall sockets stay safe and damage-free, please keep the setting to 10A maximum.
Can I plug this EV extension lead into another extension lead?
No. For safety reasons, never daisy-chain EV extension leads. Our 10m to 20m options offer ample range for most customers.
Do I need to check the fuse clips inside the plug?
Due to the relatively high current used by EVs, it is good practice to check the internal connections are tight once a year (ensure the device is unplugged first). However, you should regularly check the outside of the plug for any signs of heat damage or scorching. If the plug ever feels uncomfortably hot (rather than just warm), stop using it and please inspect the internal clips immediately.
