Camping 16amp blue socket to 13amp domesric use.

irelandhouse

On campsite you would usually have access to blue 16amp connection. I've just bought a 16amp to 13amp socket. So wanted to know what the use is like on this ? I e. Just 1item ? And what would the difference be in getting a 4plug extension on this ? Or wire it into it to make tour own 16amp to 13amp 4 plug ?


Have this ...

Would like to make something like this....

Or 4 plug version.


What is difference ? Cable size /strength ?

Length, yes.

Cable size? I see that the 1st one is 3 x 1.5mm sq. cable, but don't see the cable size for the second one.

Strength? They look the same to me.

It also appears to me that the second once provides two 13A sockets, not four.

Don't know how it is on other camping sites in the Eu but I know that the first(short one) on most of the camping sites in the Netherlands are not allowed
Getting wet by rain
Gable must be go from blue camping socket straight into socket caravan / camper or into tent
Cable of 10 meters is over there normally long enough

Cheers. Wanted to mow. Can I take the 13amp socket off at the 16amp plug end and replace it with a longer lead with 4 plug sockets the end.

Bear in mind that the 13amp 4-way socket is still only rated 13amps max in total and you should not exceed that, even if the CEE blue socket will supply up to 16amps.

Use a 20 amps 4-way socket done that myself in a similar situation for a "camping extension lead"
