Product Information

Full details

This kenable adapter is for travelers or users needing to connect European Schuko (Type F) devices to a UK 3-pin power outlet. Its key benefit is providing a safe and compliant connection for higher voltage earthed appliances. A caveat is that it does not convert voltage, only the plug type. It features an earthed connection and a 10A BS1362 approved fuse, making it suitable for compatible Schuko plugs.

FAQs

Does this adapter convert voltage?

No, this adapter only changes the plug shape. It does not convert voltage. Ensure your appliance is compatible with the UK's 230-250V mains supply.

What type of European plug does this adapter accept?

It accepts Schuko (Type F) plugs, which are common in many European countries.

What is the maximum current rating for this adapter?

The adapter has an integrated 10A BS1362 approved fuse, which limits the maximum current draw.

Can I use this adapter with any Schuko device?

Yes, provided the device uses a standard Schuko (Type F) plug and its power consumption does not exceed the adapter's 10A fuse rating and the supply voltage is compatible (230-250V).

Is the adapter earthed for safety?

Yes, the adapter is earthed, maintaining the safety earth connection from the Schuko plug to the UK socket.

How do I replace the fuse?

Locate the fuse compartment (usually on the UK plug part of the adapter), carefully remove the old fuse and slide in a new one of the exact same rating (10A BS1362).

Troubleshooting

Adapter not powering the device

Ensure the Schuko plug is fully inserted into the adapter and the adapter is securely plugged into the UK socket. Check if the UK socket is live. Verify the device's power requirements do not exceed the adapter's 10A fuse rating.

Loose connection

Check that both the Schuko plug fits snugly into the adapter and the adapter's UK plug fits firmly into the wall socket. Inspect pins for any damage or bending.

Device trips circuit breaker or blows fuse

The connected device may be drawing more than 10 Amps. This adapter is limited by its 10A fuse. Use a device with lower power consumption or an adapter with a higher fuse rating if available and appropriate.

Cons

  • Does not convert voltage (e.g., 220V to 110V).
  • Limited to 10A current by the integrated fuse.
  • Primarily for temporary use or travel.
  • Requires the connected device to be compatible with UK mains voltage (230V).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the UK socket is accessible and functional.
  2. Take your Schuko (Type F) plug device.
  3. Firmly insert the Schuko plug into the corresponding socket on the adapter.
  4. Insert the UK plug pins of the adapter into the UK wall socket.

Compatibility:

  • Voltage: Suitable for appliances designed for 230-250V AC mains supply.
  • Fuse Rating: The adapter contains a 10A fuse. Devices drawing more than 10A may not function correctly or could blow the fuse.

Care:

  • Keep the adapter clean and dry. Use a dry or slightly damp cloth for cleaning; avoid solvents.
  • Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
  • Periodically check the adapter for any signs of damage, such as cracks or worn pins. Do not use if damaged.
  • Ensure the fuse is replaced only with another of the same rating (10A BS1362).
