Description

The Mercury euro converter plug adapts European 2-pin earthed plugs to fit UK BS1363 mains sockets, with a fitted 13A fuse protecting the connected appliance. The converter accepts Type C and Type E/F European plugs (the round 2-pin and 3-pin earthed styles used across continental Europe) and converts them to the UK 3-pin format, allowing European appliances, chargers and tools to be used on UK mains without rewiring.

Designed for travellers, workshop use, and homes with imported European appliances, the plug suits both permanent installation (e.g. a European espresso machine in a UK kitchen) and temporary use (charging a European laptop or power tool on site). The 13A fuse rating handles appliances up to 3,000W on 230V mains, covering most kettles, hairdryers, power tools and general household electronics. The black polycarbonate housing resists impact and hides cable scuff marks better than white equivalents.

The converter is rated to BS1363 standards and carries shuttered UK pin sockets for child safety. The European plug pins insert into the front face of the converter, and the UK pins project from the rear to mate with a standard UK wall socket or extension lead. The compact profile adds approximately 40mm of projection beyond the wall socket once fitted, making it suitable for use behind furniture where clearance is limited.

Frequently Asked

What European plug types does this accept?

The converter accepts Type C (2-pin unearthed, used across Europe for low-power devices) and Type E/F (2-pin with earth contact, used in Germany, France, Spain, Netherlands, and most of continental Europe). It does not accept UK, US, Australian or Asian plug formats.

Can I use this for high-power appliances?

The 13A fuse rating allows appliances up to 3,000W on 230V mains. This covers most kettles, hairdryers, vacuum cleaners and power tools. For appliances above 3,000W, check the fuse rating is adequate or use a higher-rated converter if available.

Is the fuse replaceable?

Yes. The 13A fuse sits in a carrier accessible from the underside of the plug. Replacement fuses are widely available from hardware retailers and Niori carries a range of BS1362 fuses if needed.

Is this suitable for permanent installation?

The converter is suitable for both temporary and permanent use. For permanent installation (e.g. a European appliance used daily in a UK home), ensure the converter is accessible for fuse replacement and check the connection periodically for any looseness or heat buildup.
