Camping The right electrical equipment with as - Schwabe If you want to spend your camping holiday without nasty surprises, check your equipment for completeness and functionality before departure. The electrical equipment is one of the most important and must meet the campsites standards. To ensure that you only take electrotechnical products with you that you are allowed to use on the campsite, we explain what is permitted in the camping area ( ). Standards Electrical standards for power supply on campsites and in mobile homes have to be respected. According to DIN standard DIN VDE 0100-721 VDE 0100-721, heavy-duty rubber cables of type H07RN-F or a higher quality with a cable cross-section of 2.5 mm2 (3G2.5) are required. Further, the permitted maximum length of 25 m cord plus an adapter cord of 1.5 m, if necessary, must not be exceeded. These requirements are an integral part of all camp site regulations. If you fail to comply, the camp site owner may ask you to rent or purchase a cable on site. If you refuse the campsite operator’s request, you may be denied access to electricity. If you manage to connect to the electricity without authorisation, your action may be liable to prosecution and you would normally be expelled from the campsite. Compliance with the regulations described above is essential for your insurance. For example, cable cross-sections that are too small can lead to fire as a result of an excessive electricity load. If damage to your mobile home or the campsite results from illegal cables, your insurance protection will be rendered void. and you will be liable for the damage and responsible for any costs. Our recommendation Considering the safety aspects related to electric current, it is recommended to use electrical devices fitted with power cords longer than 1.5 m. Such cable lengths make it possible to connect extensions to high wall-mounted socket outlets or power supply inlets and to place the cable with connector on the ground beneath the vehicle, for example. The advantage is that there is no tensile stress on the connection between the plug and connector after connecting a consumer. In addition, the power supply inlet isnot loaded. Indeed, tensile stress should always be avoided on these two connections, since in the worst case, loose contact connections can cause socket fires. Short circuits can also damage the connected devices. If you want to be on the safe side, consider our recommendation and only use products with a minimum cable length of 1.5 m. 198
