Product Information

The onset of charging can be delayed by 1-12 hours from the button being pressed, with the limitation that a time cannot be set to stop charging.

Manufactured from cable which is not sufficiently large in diameter (normally 1mmsq or 1.25mmsq) to handle the relatively high sustained 10A current required. The large screen makes things easy to read, and it even has its own battery to keep the settings in case of a power cut. You can use it as a countdown timer, which makes it ideal for setting a bedside lamp to go off even after you’ve fallen asleep! It’s these little things that will save you money on your electricity bill.

Control unit built into an EV extension lead, to enable charging start and stop times to be set using a manual timer or Wi-Fi control (with the added bonus of energy monitoring). The 1.5mmsq vs 2.5mmsq flex debate seems to be the most common one with regards to EV leads on on-line forums, and sadly the most uninformed. For lengths of up to 20m, our advice is that the 1.5mmsq flex used in all of our leads is the best option for the following reasons (apologies for getting rather technical!): Dedicated final circuit with over-current protection (e.g. you can't use or spur off an existing ring circuit).

Use PVC or blue ‘arctic’ flex, which despite frequent claims that it is ‘heavy duty’, the cable is far from it. It is prone to mechanical and UV damage and is not recommended for use outdoors or below 5°C. Plug in timers are a really handy product to have in the home. They can save you money, deter burglars and ensure you come home to a warm, bright house on cold winter nights. Timer plugs are also ideal for specialised functions such as Christmas lights, greenhouse heaters, grow lamps, fish tank pumps and any other item that needs to be turned on for certain periods of time. BS 1363-1:1995 A4:2012 the British Standard for 13A plugs, specifically states that flex must not exceed 1.5mmsq with the line ‘having nominal conductor cross-sectional areas not exceeding 1.5 mmsq’. Therefore, other than manufacturer fitted moulded plugs, 2.5mmsq flex should not be terminated in a 13A plug. Many electricity providers offer off-peak tariffs, which are often significantly cheaper. Some EVs have a function to set charging times. However, where this is not available, we provide a number of options:There are also modes for turning things on or off on specific days, multiple days of the week or your own chosen pattern. What I really like about this plug-in timer is the random mode though. If you’re off on holiday, simply plug in a light and it will turn on and off randomly to confuse any would-be burglars.

Most are rather long. Think of a cable like a water pipe. If you want high pressure at the end of your 10m garden, you’re not going to achieve it if you use a hosepipe the size of a drinking straw! The longer the distance, the larger diameter you need to sustain the same flow. This principle is the same for electrical cables. Plug-in meter , MID certified for sub-billing applications. Readings can be viewed directly from the unit. Most electric vehicles (EVs) are supplied with a portable domestic charger designed to charge the vehicle when access to a charging point is not possible. Rather confusingly it is commonly referred to as a 'granny charger', as it is a lead to use when visiting relatives such as your granny! Type 2 - Designed by the German manufacturer Mennekes, the connector has 7 pins. It was adopted as the EU standard for EVs in 2014 and is therefore the most common EV connector in the UK. It enables single and three phase charging at 3.7kW-7.4kW AC.In contrast, a tethered charger (right) has a cable permanently connected, with a type 2 connector on the end. A type 2 to type 2 cable cannot be used to extend the length of a tethered charger, as the international standard has a safety mechanism which prevents the charge from commencing if two cables are joined. What is a granny charger? Plug-in meter with Wi-Fi connectivity, providing live and cumulative kWh readings on the unit's screen and via the Smart Life app. Irrespective of whether an extension lead is used, it is important that you consider how safe the supply may be before plugging in your charger. This must be the easiest plug in timer to operate. There’s just one button to press! The single on/off button cycles through the countdown timers and sets them running too.

Childproof Option One of the benefits of a plug in timer is that they use very little electricity. In fact, you are unlikely to notice any increase in your electricity bill.We are often asked the question of whether an extension should include an RCD and the simple answer is yes if ANY of the following apply: Whist we would never recommend that you submerse an extension lead, it’s good to know that just in case it ends up running through a puddle, it’s actually submersible to a depth of 100m. Wi-Fi enabled control unit built into an EV extension lead, providing live and cumulative kWh readings via the Smart Life app. The unit also allows remote control and timers to be set.
