Sthor brand strip extension cord with:

• overvoltage and overload protection
• grounded sockets
• childproofing
• power cut-off switch on all sockets

Solid three-core cable with increased cross sections in a polyvinyl sheath makes the extension cord can be used both at home and in the office.

Will easily power and protect a range of surge-sensitive receivers such as desktop computers, monitors, televisions, and will also transport enough current for power-hungry appliances such as large household appliances.

The housing is made of aluminum subjected to an anodization process that strips the aluminum of its ability to conduct electricity, but for double safety the housing is also grounded.

Basic data:

• Voltage and frequency rating: ~230/50Hz
• Maximum load ~230V: 3500 W
• copper three-conductor cable with cross-sectional area 1.5 mm²

The designation H05VV-F denotes a tire cable made according to the harmonized standard (H), for a rated voltage of 300/500V (05), with polyvinyl chloride insulation (V), with polyvinyl chloride sheath (V) and flexible multi-stranded conductors (-F).

Overload protection

A prolonged current draw above the extension cord's maximum load could cause the cord to overheat, resulting in a fire. An automatic fuse will disconnect the power supply to the strip when a short circuit or too much prolonged current is drawn by the devices connected to it.

• thermal overload protection: 16A/250V

Surge protection

Power surges, or voltage spikes, are one of the main reasons for failure of equipment equipped with electronics. Severe surges most often occur during power grid switching, during the failure of a nearby transformer or transmission line, or due to lightning. Surges can also occur at home. When a high-powered electrical appliance turns on or off, a smaller voltage surge can occur. This is possible because of the high energy demand when appliances such as an air conditioner, refrigerator, compressor or welding machine start up. While strong surges can damage electronics in a fraction of a second, smaller surges usually do not lead to damage immediately, while they can shorten the life span by years. Frequent flickering or burning out of light bulbs can indicate the presence of surges. Sthor brand surge protection strips offer increased protection against both overloads and surges.

• A series of varistors (MOVs) with thermal fuses and a protective gas spark gap (GDT) are simple surge protection
• maximum surge current: 15000A (8/20µs)
• maximum energy absorption: 578J(10/1000µs)
• lamp indicator

Additional information:

• Polyvinyl insulation is high resistance to mechanical damage and most solvents
• childproofing in the form of plastic flaps and a special mechanism makes it difficult to access the socket openings
