Product Information

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.

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. When you notice that your Extension Lead is on its last legs, do not attempt to repair with DIY methods, you must dispose of any faulty equipment and replace it. 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.

A further word of warning: the maximum power handling of longer extension cables, such as cable reels designed for indoor or outdoor use, depends on the cable being completely unwound. If you’re planning on using high powered electric garden tools, then the cable must be unwound to prevent excessive heat build up in the cable reel. Where a wound cable reel might only handle 1,000 watts (1KW), the same reel may be rated at around 3,300 watts (3.3KW) when the cable is unwound to its full length. And similarly, don’t be tempted to tightly wind up a standard extension cable in the name of neatness if you’re going to be using it with power hungry appliances – items with a high power draw can cause the cable to heat up dramatically and create a fire hazard.

By our calculations, you can comfortable fit all of these commercial/office appliances in to one Extension Lead without overloading it:brennenstuhl® offers extension leads for almost every application. From the common 3-way power strip to the sophisticated high-tech extension lead with surge protection, automatic function and other intelligent features, brennenstuhl® extension leads meet the most diverse requirements. brennenstuhl® power strips are available with illuminated on/off switch, increased touch protection, with USB charger, surge protection, main-follow function and many other features. Following on from this, it is also important to make sure you are purchasing an Extension Lead with properly insulated connectors and plugs.

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. 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? 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 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?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. 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. Further questions about surge protection extension leadsare also answered in the brennenstuhl® world of themes.

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 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? 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? By our calculations, you can comfortably fit all of these domestic appliances in to one Extension Lead without overloading it:Individually switchable extension leads enable electrical appliances to be switched on and off individually without interrupting the complete power supply of the other electrical appliances plugged in. Wireless extension leads We recommend following these safety measures to make sure you’re always keeping yourself and your colleagues safe: The ZEIT publishing group declares brennenstuhl® "Brand of the Century". The "German Standards - Brands of the Century" are among the oldest awards in Germany. brennenstuhl® was honoured for its unique position in the category "The extension lead". Charging devices even faster is possible with the technology for fast charging: Power Delivery.With Power Delivery technology, connected devices such as laptops, smartphones or tablets are charged up to 70% faster. Thereby, the USB charging cable connection type C is used. USB charging station
