A: If you are worried about the safety of your extension cord, you should only use an extension cord outside if it is weatherproof. Every other method of protection is unreliable.

The earlier models seemed to be a bit flimsy and were prone to break or come off. There haven’t been any recent reports of this at all. A: No, you should never plug an extension lead into another extension lead. This is very dangerous. as far as safety is concerned I have only seen one issue – a user tried to charge up their car and it melted the plug. Long before that happened the fuse should have blown so I am not quite sure what happened there but most cars charge on 30 Amps or more, and since this cable is only rated for your standard 13 Amp household, I highly advise not to misuse the product. It is certainly not safe beyond its rating! Pros: This is an ideal unit for those who are looking to supply electricity to some hard-to-reach places. It might be a good idea to look into this Crusader model if you are trying to put up holiday lights across your roof!A: A wet extension cord should be dried out fully before use. If the extension cord has become damp from saltwater, then you should rinse well with fresh water and use compressed air to dry it out completely. Good camping leads will come with weather protection. Lids and covers are available so you can shield the electrical components of the plug against rain. It should also be protected against dust and other wires. 3. Sound Construction When looking for chargers and electrical leads, you might be tempted by a cheap price. If someone is driving a huge bargain, the odds are that the lead is improperly made and will lead to malfunction. There are certain key factors to look for – as well as those to avoid – when looking for the very best camping leads. 1. Circuit Breaker Protection The newest ultra-modern Master plug model allows campers to have a powerful way to extend cables up to 25 meters at a time. The winding reel makes it easy to store the cable in a way that prevents it from getting tangled. The bright green design of this cable reel from Status is something you’ll either love or hate, but beyond that, this competitively priced cable reel is definitely one worth some serious consideration.

The vertical design allows for USB ports in between the traditional plugs so you can hook up just about any kind of device, while surge protection keeps the charger steady even if it is being used to its full capacity. The retractable power cord makes this easy to travel with, as you’ll never have to worry about a tangle.Not to mention, it provides a resistant shell around the outlets to protect them against all kinds of weather and water. It is also fire-resistant as well, making it safe to use even in the event of a surge. The orange extension cable makes it highly visible, even at night. While this is a standard protocol among camping extension leads, it is important to note and maintain this high visibility for the safety of all campers.

Some claim to have run four 2000 Watt heaters on one lead. If they did, it wouldn’t be for long and defies science 😀 After all you have a max Watts rating of 13 Amps * 240 Volts (3120 Watts). One heater on full power, or two half power is the most you sensibly want to push through this power cord! If you do manage to overload the cable and pop the fuse then you’ll not have much trouble replacing, it is designed for easy swap over.

Features That Are Important

When fully wound, the cable has a maximum current of 3 amps, or 720 watts, which isn’t a great deal and probably wouldn’t be enough to run your lawnmower without getting too hot. However, once you unwind the cable, that maximum current jumps to 10 amps (2400 watts) which is much more practical and should allow you to run two electric garden tools at the same time without issue. Masterplug extension cable reel guide is ver easy to use and stops winding around the sides which can be a pain to put right Both the metal stand and the plastic reel feel strong and sturdy, and the cable is 13A high quality stuff, not the 10A that is sometimes used in low-cost products claiming to be heavy duty.
