Description

The Mercury fused euro converter plug adapts 2-pin European plugs to UK BS1363 three-pin sockets, carrying a 5A fuse for overcurrent protection. The converter accepts the two round pins of a euro plug on one side and presents three UK-standard pins on the other, allowing European appliances to be powered from UK mains without permanent rewiring or modification.

Designed for low-draw appliances up to 5A (1,150W at 230V), the converter suits phone chargers, laptop power supplies, small kitchen appliances, and travel electronics brought from mainland Europe. The 5A rating is significantly lower than the 13A standard for UK plugs, so it should not be used with high-draw devices such as kettles, heaters, or hair dryers. The anti-tamper screw on the casing provides additional security in commercial or educational settings where plug access needs to be restricted.

The black moulded plastic casing houses a replaceable 5A cartridge fuse accessible via the base of the plug. If the fuse blows due to an overcurrent event, it can be replaced without discarding the entire converter. The compact design keeps the converter flush to the wall socket, minimising projection and allowing it to be used where space behind furniture or appliances is limited.

Frequently Asked

What devices can be used with a 5A converter?

The 5A rating supports low-draw appliances up to approximately 1,150W at 230V. This includes phone chargers, laptop power supplies, small radios, LED desk lamps, and similar electronics. Do not use with high-draw appliances such as kettles, hair dryers, heaters or irons.

Is the fuse replaceable?

Yes. The converter uses a standard 5A cartridge fuse accessible via the base of the plug. If the fuse blows, it can be replaced with a new 5A fuse of the same type.

What is the anti-tamper screw for?

The screw secures the casing and prevents easy disassembly, providing additional safety in commercial, educational or hospitality settings where users should not be able to open the plug housing.

Does it convert voltage?

No. This is a physical pin adapter only. It does not convert voltage. European appliances designed for 230V will work on UK mains (also 230V). Devices rated for 110V will not work safely and require a voltage transformer.
