I live and work in the UK. I keep this for use by European visitors. It has 2 European plug sockets, 1 USB C socket and 3 USB A sockets. The USB sockets are handy for general day to day usage. The socket is well made and is fused so conforms to UK electrical regulations.
I have to fault find and repair all manner of electrical devices and sometimes these are fitted with a europlug. Rarely are they earthed and more often than not they can be swapped with an IEC C7 or C8, although on occasion the cable is hard wired.
This little adapter gives me exactly what I need for this purpose. The adapter provides support for a full 13 amp passthrough (3120 watts in total for our mains voltage) which is more than enough for my needs. Of cause it is overrated for safety, so will run up to 250V 16A for a total of 4KW. There’s an added convenience of USB outputs which are not important for my needs but offer a convenience to plug some of my kit into so I can leave this connected to my test power strip.
If you need to adapt a euro connector, earthed or not, to plug into a UK mains socket, this will fit your needs well and thanks to the full current rating of the unit, you don’t need to be overly cautious on the appliance you’re using. Just be mindful of the voltage requirements of the appliance as this is NOT a voltage stepper so will push the full 240v to the device. If you need to turn down the voltage, then you’d need a suitably connected Variac in your setup.
