We supply a comprehensive range of extension leads designed to meet both domestic and industrial requirements. This includes 3-pin single-phase leads as well as 4-pin and 5-pin three-phase configurations. Our selection covers traditional Australian flat-pin plugs, heavy-duty industrial round-pin connectors, and IEC 60309 (CEE Form) international-standard fittings. Current ratings span from 10A through to 125A, with cable lengths available from 1 metre up to 60 metres, ensuring suitable options for everything from household use to high-demand commercial and event environments.

Definitely. Resource Electrical power boards are widely used for temporary power distribution at events due to their durability, safety features, and flexible outlet configurations. They are well suited to applications such as film and television productions, food trucks, festivals, exhibitions, and other mobile or short-term installations requiring dependable power solutions.

Our products are built for durability and reliability in demanding Australian conditions. Depending on the specification, they may incorporate heavy-duty rubber, industrial-grade sheathing, or specialised insulation designed for resistance to UV, moisture, oils, abrasion, heat, and mechanical wear. Many leads are suitable for outdoor, industrial, wet-area, and high-stress applications, making them ideal for trade, construction, events, agriculture, and marine environments.

Single-phase extension leads (typically 240V, 3-pin) are used for everyday household equipment and lighter commercial tools. Three-phase extension leads (415V, 4-pin or 5-pin) are designed for machinery, high-power appliances, and industrial infrastructure where significantly greater electrical capacity is required. Three-phase systems deliver more power with greater efficiency, making them essential for high-load environments.

Yes. All extension leads are built to order, which allows us to customise virtually any aspect of the assembly. You can specify exact lengths, cable sizes, plug and socket combinations, phase types, and environmental durability requirements. This ensures the final product is precisely configured for your worksite, venue, machinery, or operational environment.

Yes. All power boards supplied by Resource Electrical are manufactured using Australian-certified components and are assembled in accordance with recognised electrical safety standards. Each unit is thoroughly tested and tagged prior to dispatch to ensure compliance, reliability, and suitability for professional use. Particular care is taken with RCBO protection, enclosure integrity, and IP ratings to meet demanding site conditions.

RCBO stands for Residual Current Breaker with Overcurrent protection. This integrated safety device protects users from electric shock caused by earth leakage while also guarding against overloads and short circuits. RCBO protection is especially important in portable and temporary power applications, as it significantly reduces the risk of injury, equipment damage, and downtime on job sites.

Flat-pin plugs are generally used in domestic and light commercial settings and are suited to lower-power devices. Round-pin plugs, on the other hand, are designed for industrial-grade performance, offering improved durability, secure connections, and higher current capacity. CEE Form (IEC 60309) fittings add an additional layer of safety through voltage-specific colour coding and mechanically keyed designs that prevent incorrect connections.

Rubber-insulated cable provides superior flexibility, abrasion resistance, and environmental durability when compared with standard PVC cable. It performs exceptionally well in demanding conditions such as outdoor sites, event production, workshops, logistics areas, and mining operations. Its resilience to heat, impact, moisture, and chemical exposure makes it the preferred choice for heavy-duty and long-life applications.

Absolutely. Every extension lead is assembled, inspected, and test-tagged by licensed Australian electricians to meet all relevant local safety regulations. We use high-quality, standards-approved components sourced from reputable Australian suppliers, ensuring compliance, electrical integrity, and long-term reliability across all applications.

Testing and tagging intervals in Australia depend on the environment in which the equipment is used. Construction and demolition sites typically require testing every 3 months, due to the high-risk nature of these environments. Other workplaces may require testing every 6 or 12 months, depending on their WHS obligations. Always refer to your workplace or site-specific compliance requirements to determine the correct interval.

Yes. We manufacture and supply 32A CEE Form 4-pin extension leads specifically suited for powering refrigerated shipping containers (reefers). These leads are built to handle the demanding duty cycles of transport, logistics, festivals, cold-storage facilities, and other environments where reliable temperature-controlled equipment must operate continuously.

Yes. All extension leads and power boards from Resource Electrical are fully tested and tagged prior to dispatch by licensed electricians. This ensures they are immediately ready for compliant use on construction sites, industrial environments, and event installations.
