This SPARES2GO 16A 14-meter extension lead is designed for demanding outdoor and site applications, providing a robust power connection for generators, caravans, and construction equipment. Its key benefit is the extra-long reach and durable, weather-resistant construction. A potential caveat is its specific 3-pin connector, which may not be compatible with all standard household devices.

The extension lead is rated for 16 Amps (16A) at 240 Volts (240V), which translates to a maximum power output of approximately 3840 Watts (3.84 kW).
This lead features a 3-pin (2P+E) connector typically used for higher power applications like generators, caravans, or site equipment. It is generally not compatible with standard UK 13A household sockets or appliances unless they have a specific 3-pin industrial plug.
While the lead is weather and temperature resistant for temporary outdoor use, it is not designed for permanent installation exposed to continuous sunlight or extreme conditions. Always store it appropriately when not in use.
A 1.5mm² cable cross-sectional area indicates a thicker gauge wire, which allows for higher current transfer with less resistance and voltage drop over longer distances compared to thinner cables. This ensures more consistent power delivery to your devices.
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the cable and connectors. Ensure the lead is completely dry before reconnecting it to a power source or appliance to avoid electrical hazards.
Please refer to the specific warranty information provided by the retailer or manufacturer at the time of purchase, as warranty periods can vary.
Ensure the extension lead is securely plugged into both the power source and the device. Check that the power source is active. Inspect the lead for any visible damage. Verify the power source and device are rated for 16A/240V.
Check for loose connections at either end of the lead. Inspect the cable for kinks or damage that might be causing a break in conductivity. Ensure the cable is not overloaded beyond its 16A capacity.
Disconnect immediately. This could indicate an overloaded circuit or a faulty connection. Ensure the connected device's power draw does not exceed the 16A rating. Inspect connectors for corrosion or damage.
Setup: Simply plug the 3-pin (2P+E) connector into a compatible mains power socket or generator output. Connect your 3-pin appliance to the other end of the extension lead.
Compatibility: This lead is primarily designed for 16A, 240V systems with a 3-pin (2P+E) connection. It is ideal for generators, caravans, motorhomes, construction site equipment, and outdoor lighting. It is not suitable for standard domestic 13A sockets or appliances requiring a different plug type.
Care: Store the lead in a dry place when not in use. Inspect the cable and connectors regularly for any signs of damage, cuts, or fraying. Clean with a damp cloth if necessary, ensuring it is completely dry before storing or use. Avoid leaving it permanently exposed to harsh UV or extreme temperatures.
