Cable Tidy Black with Handle for Extension Lead Storage H Frame Plastic Holder

Product Information

Surges are all overvoltages that exceed the limit value of the mains voltage for a short time. Without effective surge protection, the overvoltages destroy sensitive electronic components in the circuits of the connected devices. What does surge protection mean for extension leads? We recommend following these safety measures to make sure you’re always keeping yourself and your colleagues safe:

Charging devices even faster is possible with the technology for fast charging: Power Delivery. With Power Delivery, various battery-powered devices can be safely charged within a short time via a USB C connection, regardless of the manufacturer. With the Power Delivery technology for fast charging of batteries, connected end devices such as laptops, smartphones or tablets are charged up to 70% faster. Can I charge my USB device with Power Delivery? In general, you must not plug in several extension leads one after the other. This is even indicated on the extension lead with a warning "do not plug in one after the other". The reason for this is the increased risk of overloading the extension lead.This type of brennenstuhl® extension lead in a practical, square shape allows access to the power source from all sides. Placed centrally on the table, this is a practical feature especially when a partner, family member or colleague is still at the table together. The 3-way brennenstuhl®Connect Ecolor WiFi extension lead has also been awarded the iF DESIGN AWARD 2020. Power strips with a USB charger offer the possibility of charging end devices such as smartphones, tablets, cameras and many more directly at the power strip with USB charger. Extension leads can provide protection against various types of leakage currents. These can occur due to lightning strikes or overvoltages. The protection is limited to a certain amperage in each case. The higher the selected amperage, the higher the maximum surge protection offered by the extension lead. What are surges?

We have worked out some examples of the appliances you can plug in to an Extension Lead in various commercial and domestic scenarios, without overloading. When an extension lead is overloaded, it can heat up enormously.This can cause a "smouldering fire". A smouldering fire means that there are no visible flames at first. This makes it all the more dangerous because it is not easy to detect.Dust or other flammable materials can then cause a flame fire to start and spread until the surrounding area catches fire. Can extension leads be plugged in one after the other?

We will help you find the right Brennenstuhl extension lead that meets your requirements

The Desktop-Power extension lead is indispensable for every computer desk. Ideal for connecting a notebook, for example. Here you have USB connections in the form of a USB hub or USB charger within easy reach at the same time. It is never recommended to plug one Extension Lead in to another, as this increases resistance and the risk of overheating and causing a fire. No, we wouldn’t recommend it. Connecting two or more extension leads together, sometimes referred to as ‘daisy chaining’, is benign on its own but the problem lies in the likelihood that you will be plugging in too many devices that use too much power all at once. This overloading, as described above, increases the electrical resistance in the chain and is often the root cause of fires. By our calculations, you can comfortable fit all of these commercial/office appliances in to one Extension Lead without overloading it:

There are many types of Extension Leads on the market, but there are some rules that every trader should follow when it comes to Extension Lead safety. IP protection class for extension leads?The IP44 protection rating indicates that the device is protected against foreign bodies and splashing water and that the extension lead is therefore suitable for outdoor use. How long must the extension lead cable be? To ensure that the extension lead is long enough for every application, there are power strips with different cable lengths from 1.5m or 3m up to 5m. Electrical Safety First has devised a calculator so you can estimate the power consumption of the appliances, devices or tools that you’re planning to connect to your extension lead. For general household use, you probably won’t need to worry too much as items like lamps or laptop or mobile phone chargers are very low in wattage, less than 100W in general, and even TVs and Hi-Fi components tend to draw hundreds rather than thousands of watts. That said, it pays to be vigilant: seemingly innocuous small household items such as hairdryers, irons and kettles can consume the best part of 3KW each – and if you’re thinking about electric lawnmowers and power tools, these too can demand kilowatts of power. By our calculations, you can comfortably fit all of these domestic appliances in to one Extension Lead without overloading it:The maximum surge current for surge protection extension leads indicates how much current can be discharged without destroying the protective device. The higher the value, the more smaller overvoltage peaks the extension leads with surge protection can absorb without damaging connected devices. When do I need surge protection? What additional functions does my extension lead need? Are switches needed? Do appearance and design play an important role? Is a higher IP protection class required for outdoor use? Is surge protection worthwhile? The Premium-Line with its aesthetic, durable plastic or aluminium housing also impresses with its "Made in Germany" quality. The extension lead is ideal for conveniently connecting IT/video and audio systems to several devices. Its elegant and sturdy housing is made of highly break-resistant special plastic. These power strips have a practical automatic switching system that helps save electricity and provides more convenience. Master-Slave is now Main-Follow - the function is the same!

Surge protection pays off. Lightning strikes can cause overvoltages in power, telephone or antenna lines. Extension leads with surge protection can reduce voltage peaks so that the connected devices are not damaged. Avoid damage to your electrical appliances by using surge protection products! Wall mountable extension lead brennenstuhl® has high-quality extension leads with 19" or 10" format. These extension leads for control cabinet technology in industrial quality are suitable for installation in network or server cabinets where the inch format is used.
