Description
ACM EU 2 Pin to UK 3 Pin Plug (13a – With Fuse – Pack of 2)
This ACM plug adapter converts a European two-pin plug into a UK three-pin plug, and is listed as 13A with a fuse. This listing is a pack of two, handy for having one with each charger.
A lot of airsoft chargers, battery chargers, torches and other gadgets are supplied with European plugs. Rather than using a loose travel adapter that can fall out of the socket, a fused converter lets you plug those devices into a UK socket in a tidy and safer way.
Why a fused adapter
UK plugs carry a fuse to protect the flex and the appliance. European plugs do not have one, so a fused converter adds that protection back when you use a European device in a UK socket. Make sure the fuse fitted is appropriate for the device you are using.
Using a converter also means you do not need to cut off and rewire the original plug, which can affect the warranty on a charger.
Using it
Fit the European plug fully into the adapter, then plug the adapter into a UK socket. Check that the device you are powering is suitable for UK mains voltage before use; many modern chargers are, but always check the label. An adapter only changes the plug shape, it does not change the voltage.
