Frequently Asked Questions

• • Can I plug two 3-pin appliances into this at once? Yes, this adapter features two dedicated Type M 3-pin sockets specifically for standard South African grounded plugs.
• • Does this fit the small 2-pin phone chargers? Yes, the two europlug ports are designed for the flat, hexagonal-shaped 2-pin connectors found on most modern chargers.
• • Is this unit surge protected? This is a standard high-current multi plug; for protection against load-shedding surges or lightning, we recommend an SCE surge-protected model.
