Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. What is an extension board?

Ans. An extension board is a device that provides additional power outlets from a single wall socket, allowing you to connect multiple devices simultaneously. It often comes with features like universal sockets (2-pin, 3-pin, 4-pin), long wire lengths ranging from 2m to 8m, and heavy load support up to 1.5kW. These are especially useful in homes or offices for powering appliances.

Q2. Is an extension board safe?

Ans. Extension boards are safe when used within their specified limits. opt for high-quality boards with features like surge protection, heavy load capacity (up to 1.5kW), and robust materials to prevent overheating or short circuits.

Q3. What is power plate 10 in extension board?

Ans. A "power plate 10" typically refers to an extension board with 10 power outlets, designed for connecting multiple devices simultaneously. These are ideal for heavy-duty use in areas with high power demands, such as offices or workstations.

Q4. How to choose a good extension board?

Ans. 

To choose a good extension board, consider these factors:

• Load Capacity: Ensure it supports heavy loads (up to 1.5kW) if you plan to connect devices like irons or room heaters.
• Wire Length: Choose a length (2m-8m) based on your placement needs.
• Sockets: Look for universal sockets (2-pin, 3-pin, 4-pin) to accommodate various plugs.
• Safety Features: opt for surge protection and quality materials to prevent overheating or damage.
• Design: Ergonomic designs and appealing aesthetics are a bonus for modern setups.   

A well-chosen extension board can also complement appliances like water heaters and room heaters for better functionality.

Q5. Can we use iron in extension board?

Ans. Yes, you can use irons on an extension board if the board supports the power requirements of the iron (typically around 1.2-1.5kW). Ensure the extension board has a high load capacity, durable wiring, and universal sockets to handle the power safely.

Q6. Can we use induction on extension board?

Ans. Using an induction cooktop on an extension board is not recommended unless the board is designed to handle high power consumption. Induction cooktops usually draw a significant amount of power, which may exceed the extension board's limit (1.5kW for standard boards). For safety and efficiency, connect the induction directly to a wall socket. Use the extension board for smaller devices
