Overview
 
If you are travelling to Continental Europe (excluding Switzerland and Italy) and find standard travel plugs a bit fiddly or awkward to use, or if you require a guaranteed earth connection, the eu2uk1 travelplug is the travel plug for you.

European plugTo start with, the eu2uk1 travelplug comes with a moulded European plug (shown opposite).

The plug is designed to fit perfectly into standard European sockets. This ensures no fiddling around to get a standard travel plug to fit properly, and also provides the correct earth continuity - sometimes, standard travel plugs do not allow the earth pin to be connected (a potentially dangerous situation when using earthed appliances like travel irons, etc.)

Connected to the moulded European plug is approximately 40cm (16") of flex. This in turn connects to the single UK socket.

1 UK SocketThis socket is made from high impact resilient rubber for durability. It is designed to withstand harsh working conditions, and its strength makes it ideal for use in a travelplug system such as this.

Unlike UK 13A plugs, European plugs have no fuse. Therefore, to ensure the same level of safety as in the UK, any UK plugs used with this socket must be fitted with a standard fuse no greater than 10A.

Overall, the eu2uk1 travelplug system provides a safe, unique solution to using electrical items up to a maximum of 2300 watts. The plug slides smoothly and effortlessly into European sockets, and guarantees earth continuity. The socket provides a standard UK outlet for travel irons, travel hair dryers, and all battery chargers, etc.

The eu2uk1 travelplug system has been designed to provide many many years of trouble free use, and looks great - a real must for all travellers.

PLEASE NOTE: This travelplug system is not suitable for Switzerland nor Italy.


Safety Standards
 
The eu2uk1 components conform to British Standards, and all relevant CE certifications for use in Europe. The travelplug system has been designed to use a European plug, not a UK plug, and therefore is not to be used in the UK under any circumstances. This system is designed for use up to 10A. It is very important to ensure that all appliances have a current rating below this, and have a fuse no greater than 10A in their UK plug.


Use
 
travelplugs.co.uk has no control on where and how this travelplug system will be used. It is therefore the responsibility of the user to ensure that the items plugged into it are suitable for the electricity supply, and that the power rating is below the total of 2300 watts. travelplugs.co.uk takes no responsibility for any costs or damage caused by incorrect use or the connection of inappropriate electrical items.

Every care has been taken to provide a list of countries this travelplug system can be used in, however, many countries have more than one electricity supply and different sockets, and therefore the purchaser should ensure that he/she is purchasing the correct travelplug for the country, or area of country required.
