Extension Lead 10m 16A 230V Blue IP67 Watertight — 1.5mm Cable

Description

A 10 metre 16A extension lead with IP67 watertight blue industrial plug and socket. Same 16A connector as most portable generators, sealed for wet ground, wash-down areas and all-weather events.

Features & Benefits

• 10 metres of 1.5mm cable.
• 16A blue industrial plug and socket.
• IP67 watertight — sealed against puddles, hose-down and wet ground. The right choice for wash-down areas and waterlogged sites.
• Check the socket on your generator first. The plug on this lead must match it: 13A is the square three-pin domestic plug, 16A is the round blue industrial plug, 32A is the larger round blue plug and 63A is the largest.
• Read the full technical specification in the Specs tab.

Frequently asked questions

How much power can this 16A lead carry?

Up to 16A at 230V, which is about 3.7kW (16 × 230 = 3,680W). Add up the wattage of everything plugged in at the far end and keep the total below that figure. If it comes out higher, you need a lead and a generator outlet with a higher amp rating.

Will this lead fit my generator?

It fits any generator with a blue 16A industrial socket (BS EN 60309), the round three-pin outlet fitted to most portable generators. On the GB4000HL, use the blue 230V socket: the yellow socket is 115V and takes a different plug. If your equipment has normal 13A plugs, add a 16A to 4 × 13A fly lead at the far end.

What does IP67 mean on an extension lead?

IP67 means the connectors are dust-tight and protected against temporary immersion in water, as long as the plug is fully mated or the cap is closed. That makes this lead the safer choice on wet ground, near wash-down areas and at all-weather events. For sheltered or dry pitches, the 16A IP44 lead costs less.

Should I unwind the lead fully before use?

Yes. Always uncoil the whole lead before you switch on. Cable left in a coil cannot shed heat, and under a heavy load it can overheat.
