make your own extension lead

Newsletter Any industrial design junkie has invariably lusted after fabrication equipment at some time or another. Well, let me tell you the good news — it is easier than it could be! All you need to do is follow a few simple steps and voila! your power cord will be tailored for the device. So why not make your own extension lead and save yourself some time, as well as money. In this article we will learn how we can create our own extension lead in five very simple steps!

Next you will need to strip the ends of the power cord. This is done by slowly stripping the wires through your wire stripper. If wire stripping is straightforward, wires with visible copper you will need to connect later. Strip enough wire to easily connect the plug and extension lead, The less stripping you do, the more difficult it will be to find those connections in everyday life.

Create a customized power solution with your own homemade extension lead

And finally we go to the fun part which is wiring it together! Use the wires from the power cord to wire up with plug & extension lead. Secure the connection with electrical tape. Be sure to connect the wires back in order if you disconnect them. This will create issues if they are not linked up properly. You will also need to make sure the wires are securely fastened so they do not get loose down the line.

Plug rite in the main!! Before you start applying readings to your new extension lead, check it first of all. It is essential to test everything before implementing it. However, if you plug in a lamp or phone charger and it switches on then the problem is not with power itself. As long as the first approach you try doesnt provide a working solution, dont worry! Go ahead and sanitize your wires - double check everything is connected correctly. So better save than be sorry, always test your extension lead before using it.
