Legrand Synergy Authentic – 1 gang switched single pole BS socket outlet 13A –

A 13-amp single-switched socket is an electrical outlet that is designed to deliver a maximum current of 13 amps to an electrical device. The socket is typically installed in the walls of buildings and is used to power a wide range of electrical appliances, such as lamps, computers, and televisions. The single switch on the socket is used to turn the power on and off to the connected device. This feature can be particularly useful for saving energy and preventing electrical hazards when the device is not in use.
The socket is usually made of durable materials, such as plastic or metal, and is designed to withstand regular use and wear and tear. The socket also has a grounding pin to ensure that the connected device is grounded, which is an important safety feature that protects against electric shock.

Features

• Designed to provide a safe and reliable connection to the earth
• Allow for easy installation into a wall or other suitable surface
• Easy connection to the mains supply and to the device that needs power

How to use

Step 1: Before installing or replacing the socket, make sure the power supply to that particular circuit is turned off. You can do this by turning off the circuit breaker or removing the fuse that supplies power to the circuit.

Step 2: Decide on the location where you want to install the socket. This is typically installed on a wall where a power outlet is needed.

Step 3: If you are replacing an old socket, remove it from the wall by unscrewing the screws that hold it in place. Gently pull the socket out of the wall to reveal the wires behind it.

Step 4: The socket will have three terminals labelled “L,” “N,” and “E.” Connect the incoming “live” (usually brown or red) and “neutral” (usually blue or black) wires and the earth wire (usually green or yellow/green) to the corresponding terminals. It is important to make sure the wires are connected securely and correctly to ensure safety and proper functionality.

Step 5: Once the wires are connected, push the socket back into the wall and secure it in place with screws.

Step 6: Once the socket is installed, turn the power supply back on and test the socket to make sure it is working properly. You can do this by plugging in a device and turning on the switch to supply power to the socket. Make sure that the total load of the device does not exceed the maximum capacity of the socket, which is 13 amps.
