A cooker unit is a 45A double-pole switch, often with a 13A socket, that feeds an electric cooker on its own circuit. You need one for a full-size electric cooker. Technics Electricals & Solar sells the Powermax 45A cooker unit (KSh 650), the Tronic cooker socket (KSh 850) and the Carl & Gilbert cooker switch (KSh 450).

Instant showers and water heaters use a similar 45A switch, such as the Powermax 45A water-heater switch (KSh 500). The cable and breaker must be sized for the load, so leave this to your electrician.

Yes. Technics Electricals & Solar sells the Carl & Gilbert 4-way extension (KSh 1,500), which is listed with surge protection, plus a Windsor multi-plug and a Windsor 50m cord reel with 2.5mm cable (price on request). We also stock Carl & Gilbert 13A fused top plugs at KSh 150.

Don’t run heaters, kettles or irons together on one extension; plug heavy appliances straight into a wall socket.
