Electrotraders' Range of Heavy-Duty Extension Leads

At Electrotraders, we stock a wide selection of Australian-assembled extension leads suitable for everything from domestic jobs to demanding industrial sites. Our range includes 3 pin single phase and 4 & 5 pin three phase leads, with amp ratings from 10A to 125A, and lengths up to 60 metres.

Whether you need a 10A domestic lead for light-duty use, or a 415V 125A 5 pin CEE Form lead for high-powered equipment, we offer leads in flat, round, and IEC 60309 (CEE Form) variants to meet your specific requirements.

All leads are constructed from durable, locally sourced rubber cable, available in standard to extra heavy-duty grades, and rigorously tested and tagged to ensure compliance with Australian standards.

Designed for electricians, tradies, event crews, and industrial users, our leads are reliable, safe and customisable—built to handle Australia’s toughest conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What types of extension leads are available in this category?

We offer a complete selection of 3 pin single phase and 4 or 5 pin three phase extension leads, including domestic-style plugs, industrial round pins, and IEC 60309 (CEE Form) options. Amp ratings range from 10A to 125A, with lengths from 5m up to 60m.

Are your extension leads compliant with Australian standards?

Yes, all extension leads are tested and tagged in accordance with Australian safety regulations by licensed electricians. The components used are locally sourced and rated for performance and compliance.

Can I customise the length or plug/socket configuration?

Absolutely. We assemble each extension lead to order and can tailor the length, cable gauge, or plug/socket type to suit your specific job site, event, or industrial application.

What is the difference between round pin and flat pin extension leads?

Flat pin plugs are typically found on domestic equipment, whereas round pin plugs are standard for industrial use and offer higher durability. CEE Form (IEC 60309) connectors are colour-coded and keyed to avoid voltage mismatches.

What is the benefit of using rubber cable for extension leads?

Rubber cable is more flexible, abrasion-resistant, and suited to harsh outdoor or industrial environments. It’s especially valuable in mining, events, and trades where durability and safety are key.

What’s the difference between single phase and three phase leads?

Single phase leads (typically 240V, 3 pin) are used in most households and light commercial applications. Three phase leads (415V, 4 or 5 pin) are used for high-power machinery, equipment and site applications where more electrical load is needed.

Can you supply leads suitable for refrigerated containers or reefer units?

Yes, we stock and custom-build 32A CEE Form 4 pin leads specifically suited for refrigerated shipping containers (reefers), commonly used in transport, events, and logistics industries.

How often do your leads need to be tested and tagged?

In Australia, testing and tagging frequency depends on your industry and site requirements. As a general rule, construction and demolition sites require testing every 3 months, while other workplaces may require it every 6 to 12 months. Always follow your site’s compliance guidelines.
