Dueltek Power Cables are 100% Australian Electrical Safety Authority Approved products.
The domestic mains power supply in Australia is 240V AC, 50Hz. Standard 3-pin earthed power outlets are rated at 10 Amps and are usually switched. The 3-flat-pin plug is used in all states of Australia (including its external territories), New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands.
Although the configuration is similar to mains plugs used in mainland China, dimensional differences to the plug body may be incompatible with recessed cord socket and prevent Chinese-compliant CPCS/CCC (CCEE) plugs from being legally sold or used in Australia.
Argentina also uses a similar 3-flat-pin configuration as Australia, but with slight dimensional differences and with the active and neutral wires being reversed. These important differences prevent the Argentina-compliant IRAM plugs from being legally sold or used in Australia as incorrect polarity may present an electrical safety hazard.
Dueltek Power Cables meet all Australian standards & are available in a large range from; IEC (with insulated pins**), C13, C14, C19, C7 (Figure 8 Plug) & C5 (3 pin clover leaf) cables that can be used for any UPS power back-up system or your most critical IT installation.
To ensure you're protected, only buy your power cables & accessories from an Australian authorised reseller or distributor.
**Mains Plugs with Insulated Pins
Australian Standards AS/NZS3112:2000 & AS/NZS3112:2004
Australian Standards AS/NZS3112:2000 and AS/NZS3112:2004 for Australian Mains Plugs define the requirements for insulating the Active and Neutral pins of the plug. These requirements were introduced in response to a number of incidents (including fatalities) involving both mains-plugs and plug-in-devices where a metal object (such as a knife blade, a metal blind slat or a sheet of metal) came into contact with a plug pin that was partially removed from a socket and resulted in an electrical shock.
Since 3 April 2005 insulated live pins have been mandatory for all plugs (and appliances with integral pins). Approval Certificates for items having non-insulated pins were cancelled on that date. In the interests of enhanced electrical safety and to ensure rapid dispersion into the marketplace, each Australian State and Territory and New Zealand Electrical Regulator required that all electrical equipment was supplied with insulated pin plugs, at all points of sale, by 3 April 2005.
