Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

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

A 3 pin single phase extension lead is used to deliver 240V power to equipment, tools, and appliances across various settings, including construction sites, events, caravans, and workshops. These leads are ideal for portable power applications and come in multiple amperage ratings to suit different load requirements.

How do I choose the right amp rating for an extension lead?

The correct amp rating depends on the total current your equipment draws. For typical household and light-duty use, a 10A lead is sufficient. For industrial tools and equipment, 15A, 20A, or even 32A leads may be required. Always check the power requirements of your gear and ensure the extension lead exceeds that load.

What’s the difference between flat and round pin extension leads?

Flat pins are more common in domestic and light commercial applications, while round pins are often used in industrial settings and for compatibility with older or specific commercial equipment. Both types offer secure connections but should be chosen based on the socket compatibility of your equipment.

Are your extension leads compliant with Australian safety standards?

Yes. All of our extension leads are assembled by licensed electricians, tested and tagged in accordance with Australian standards. We use only high-quality components and heavy-duty rubber cabling suitable for Australian conditions.

What is a CEE Form plug, and when should I choose it?

CEE Form (IEC 60309) plugs are industrial-grade connectors designed for high-reliability environments. They are ideal for outdoor or high-demand applications like film production, mobile catering, and event setups. These plugs offer superior resistance to dust, water and mechanical stress.

Can I use these leads outdoors?

Absolutely. Our extension leads are constructed using standard, heavy duty, or extra heavy-duty rubber cabling, which provides excellent durability, UV resistance, and flexibility in outdoor conditions. Make sure to choose the correct duty rating based on how rugged your job site is.

What lengths are available, and can I customise them?

We offer standard lengths from 5m to 60m, but leads can be custom-cut and assembled to your specifications. Whether you need a short lead for confined spaces or an extra-long one for reaching distant equipment, we’ve got you covered.

We’re an Australian-owned business backed by licensed electricians. Our leads are assembled locally using quality materials and tested to meet strict safety standards. With fast turnaround and customisation options, we’re trusted by tradies, event organisers, and industrial users nationwide.
