EXTENSION LEAD 608 *HOME USE*

An extension lead, also known as an extension cord in the US, is an extra length of electric wire that allows you to extend the reach of electrical devices. It typically consists of a flexible cable with a plug on one end and one or more sockets on the other end. Extension leads come in various types, sizes, and gauges, and they’re designed for temporary use. Here are some key points about extension leads:

1. Types of Extension Cords:
   • Light-Duty: These basic extension cords are not intended for heavy applications. They lack grounding wires and are typically used with light-duty equipment like lamps, clocks, and chargers.
   • Medium-Duty: These cords are more robust and suitable for moderate applications.
   • Heavy-Duty: Designed for demanding tasks, heavy-duty extension cords can handle higher loads.
2. Safety Considerations:
   • Extension cords are not meant for permanent use due to safety concerns.
   • Always choose the appropriate gauge and type for your specific needs.
   • Follow safety guidelines to prevent overloading and potential hazards.

Remember that extension leads are a convenient solution for extending power to devices when the existing electrical wire isn’t long enough
