Kenable UK Mains Power Socket Rewireable - 13A

While designed for heavy-duty use, it is not inherently weatherproof. For outdoor use, ensure it is installed in a suitable, protected location or within an appropriate weatherproof enclosure, and use outdoor-rated cabling.

Yes, this is a re-wireable socket. You will need to purchase a suitable mains cable and plug separately and wire them correctly to the socket.

Use a 3-core mains cable appropriate for a 13A load and the specific environment (e.g., H05VV-F or similar for general use, oil-resistant for workshops).

Yes, its re-wireable nature makes it suitable for permanent installations when wired correctly by a qualified person, ensuring compliance with all relevant electrical regulations.

This means the socket meets the safety and performance standards set by the British Standards Institution for 13A plugs, sockets, and connection units.

RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliance means the product is manufactured without certain hazardous materials, aligning with environmental regulations.

Ensure the mains cable is correctly wired to the Live, Neutral, and Earth terminals. Check that the cable is securely connected at both ends (plug and socket). Verify that the fuse in the plug (if applicable) is intact and that the circuit breaker or fuse for the power source is not tripped.

Re-open the socket casing and ensure all wire connections to the terminals are tight and secure. Check that the cable grips are firmly holding the outer sheath of the mains cable.

Ensure the connected appliance does not exceed the 13A rating. Check for loose internal connections which can cause resistance and heat. If the issue persists, discontinue use and have it inspected by a qualified electrician.
