Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is a 3 Pin Single Phase Adapter Lead used for?

These adapter leads allow you to safely convert between different single-phase 3 pin plug and socket types, such as flat to round pins or IEC to CEEform. They're essential when using equipment with varying power input types across work sites, events, or industrial settings.

Are these adapter leads compliant with Australian standards?

Yes, all leads are assembled using components that meet relevant Australian standards. Electrotraders ensures each lead is safe, tested, and made with high-grade materials suitable for industrial and commercial environments.

Can I use a 20A adapter lead on a 10A circuit?

Yes, but only if the circuit's breaker and cabling are rated appropriately and the equipment you're powering doesn't exceed the circuit’s capacity. The plug design helps prevent overloading by ensuring you cannot connect higher-draw devices to a lower-rated outlet.

What’s the difference between flat pin and round pin plugs?

Flat pin plugs are commonly used in Australian and New Zealand domestic and commercial environments, while round pin plugs are often found on older or specialised industrial equipment. Adapter leads bridge these variations to ensure compatibility.

Do you offer custom lengths or configurations?

Absolutely. We custom build adapter leads to your specifications, including cable length, plug/socket combinations, and cable types. If you're not sure what you need, our team of electricians can guide you.

Can I use these adapter leads outdoors?

Yes, many of our adapter leads use heavy-duty rubber cable and weather-resistant connectors suited for outdoor or rugged site use. Always check product specifications or ask us for advice on the best choice for your conditions.

What does C20 mean in the context of an adapter lead?

C20 refers to an IEC connector standard, commonly used in IT, AV, and data centre applications. A lead with a C20 plug allows you to connect such equipment to compatible 3-pin outlets using our custom adapter leads.
