Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is a 3 pin single phase appliance lead used for?

These appliance leads are commonly used to power single phase electrical appliances and equipment in both household and industrial settings. They provide a secure and compliant way to connect power where a fixed cable or hard-wired solution isn't suitable.

What’s the difference between 10A, 15A, 20A, and 32A appliance leads?

The difference lies in current rating and plug/socket compatibility. A 10A lead suits standard household outlets, while 15A and above are designed for high-powered appliances and equipment. Higher amp ratings generally have a larger earth pin and require matching outlets.

Can I use a 32A lead in a 10A socket?

No. Higher current appliance leads have different pin configurations and cannot be plugged into lower-rated sockets, which helps prevent dangerous mismatches. Always match the lead’s rating with the correct socket and appliance requirements.

What is a CEE Form plug, and why is it used?

CEE Form (IEC 60309) plugs are industrial-grade connectors used worldwide, especially in commercial, construction, and outdoor environments like caravan parks and events. They provide secure, weather-resistant connections and are colour-coded by voltage and frequency.

Are these leads compliant with Australian standards?

Yes. All our 3 pin single phase appliance leads are manufactured or assembled to comply with relevant Australian standards. It’s essential that installation is carried out by a licensed electrician to maintain compliance and safety.

Can I use these leads for portable power applications?

Absolutely. These leads are often used for temporary power setups, such as in film production, outdoor events, and on construction sites. Their flexibility and range of current ratings make them ideal for reliable portable power.
