Key Product Benefits

Industrial-Strength 1.5mm² Copper Core

The defining feature of this extension lead is its thick 1.5mm² copper core. While standard domestic leads often use thinner wiring, the Energizer Heavy Duty series uses increased copper volume to significantly reduce electrical resistance. This allows for a much more efficient flow of electricity, preventing the cable from warming up during prolonged use with high-draw appliances like heaters, vacuum cleaners, or power tools. This extra thickness ensures a stable voltage delivery, protecting your equipment from the "brownouts" often caused by inferior, thin-gauge cables.

High-Impact Protective Sheathing

Designed to survive the toughest environments, the cable is encased in a rugged, high-visibility outer jacket. This thick PVC insulation is formulated to be abrasion-resistant, protecting the internal conductors from being pinched, stepped on, or dragged across rough floors in workshops or construction sites. The heavy-duty shielding also provides superior protection against chemical spills and oils, ensuring the lead remains supple and safe to handle even after years of use in demanding commercial settings.

Reinforced Moulded Connectors

The "stress points" of any extension lead are the plug and socket ends. Energizer has equipped this lead with oversized, fully moulded connectors that feature integrated strain relief. This design prevents the internal wiring from pulling away from the pins—a common cause of short circuits. The 10A socket is designed for a precision-tight fit, ensuring that once your appliance is plugged in, the connection remains secure and does not arc or spark due to a loose contact.

Safe High-Wattage Power Delivery

Safety is paramount when dealing with high electricity loads. This 5-metre lead is rated for a full 2400 Watts, making it safe for appliances that draw maximum current. By using a shorter, thicker 5m run, you minimize the "voltage drop" that can occur over longer distances, ensuring your motors run at peak efficiency and your heaters reach temperature faster. It is the ultimate insurance policy for your expensive high-demand equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use this lead with a 15A power tool?

A: No. This is a 10A lead designed for standard 10A outlets. 15A appliances have a larger earth pin and require a dedicated 15A heavy-duty lead and a matching 15A wall socket.

Q: Is this lead suitable for use on construction sites?

A: Yes. The 1.5mm² core meets the heavy-duty requirements often mandated on worksites, although we recommend checking your specific site safety officer's requirements regarding cable colours and tagging.

Q: How does the "Heavy Duty" version differ from a standard 5m lead?

A: A standard lead typically has a 1.0mm² core. This Energizer Heavy Duty version uses a 1.5mm² core, which handles heat better and is safer for appliances that run for long periods, such as portable air conditioners.
