Everyday household details always require attention, especially when it comes to the safe power supply of equipment, where every element matters. An extension cord is not just an accessory but a part of the electrical system that directly affects the stability and safety of connected devices.
Key parameters to consider
When choosing an extension cord, it is essential to pay attention to voltage, current rating, and power capacity. Standard household models are designed for 230–250 V, 50 Hz, and 16 A. These specifications correspond to typical household wall sockets. This information should always be indicated on the back of the product. The absence of proper labeling is a warning sign that the product may be unsafe.
Conductor: composition and quality
The core component of any extension cord is the conductor. 2E uses only copper conductors, as aluminum alloys heat up faster and lose conductivity under load. Each production batch is tested to ensure compliance with the declared specifications.
For 10 A extension cords, cables with a conductor cross-section of 0.75–1 mm² are used, which is sufficient for low-power devices such as chargers, lamps, and PCs. Models rated at 16 A feature cables with a 1.5 mm² conductor cross-section – they can handle loads of up to 3,600 W and are suitable for powering heaters, washing machines, and air conditioners.
Grounding as a safety standard
Three-core extension cords with grounding are the most reliable solution for household use. They ensure stable device operation and are equipped with a power switch that allows all connected devices to be turned off simultaneously. Such models with a 1.5 mm² conductor cross-section are considered the “gold standard” for everyday use.
Housing material
The housing of an extension cord must be made of flame-retardant plastic that does not support combustion. The 2E product line uses exactly this type of material – polycarbonate (ABS), which provides an additional level of safety in the event of a short circuit.
Markings and information label
The cable of every 2E extension cord clearly indicates the conductor type and cross-section. The information label contains details about the maximum permissible load. If an extension cord is rated for 2,300 W, connecting a 3,000 W device would exceed the safe limit and should be avoided. Each product is supplied with a user manual.
Convenient cable lengths
The 2E lineup includes extension cords of various lengths – from compact 1.5 m models to options several meters long. This allows users to choose the optimal solution without excessive cable clutter.
