Extension - splitter with one socket

Extension cords are plug-and-coupler (single-socket) devices that are used to power electrical appliances over long distances. Extension cords are suitable for yards, gardens, parks and places without electricity and the need to power only one electrical appliance. They, unlike the splitters, have a long cable with a large cross-section. Extension cords are usually 5 m, 10 m, 20 m, 50 m long. Extension cords are widely used both in the home and in industry.

What types of extension will you find on Wikivat?

Extensions are usually with a cable section of 3x1mm2 with a maximum load of 10A or 3x1.5mm2 for 16A, plugs and sockets of the SHUKO type. The exception is some models with a two-pole Euro plug and a corresponding two-pole socket. In the model range, you will also find moisture-proof extensions with IP44 protection, which are an excellent choice for use outdoors or in a dusty, humid environment. When choosing an extension cord, it should be borne in mind that as the length of the cable increases, so does the resistance, which can lead to a lack or insufficient supply of the particular electrical device. For example, a 700 W lawnmower can use a 50 m extension cord, but if a 2000-2500 W screwdriver, drill or appliance needs to be powered, it is not advisable to use a 10-15 m extension cord.
