power cable kef ls50 w2

[klaas]

Is,
I need a longer power cable for my keff ls50w2 (3 m./white)
However:
- the original cable is 16 amp. there are hardly powercables to be found with this same amp. Would 10 amp also do?
- audio-powercables tend to be extremely costly. Anny suggestions for a n affordable cable?

greetings

Any kettle lead will do, otherwise just run a suitable length extension lead.

What fuse is in the plug? I doubt it's 16A, and would suggest that a cable with 'lower capacity' is perfectly adequate.

- the original cable is 16 amp.

Where was the 16 amp figure that you saw?
The operating power consumption is 200 watts (which, at 240 volts, is below 1amp).

Ls,
sorry, the plug (from power cable) is 10 amp, See attached picture.
So anny powercord would do?

You don't say which country you live in, which will affect what type of plug is on the other end of the 'kettle' connector pictured above (properly called a C14 connector) but as WayneKerr said, any country specific extension lead will do.

That cable is from a parts bin. Consumer electronics nominally require no more than 5A fuses in their mains plugs

Yes.
Your plug (socket) there can handle 10A, but when used for your Kefs will never get as much as an amp going through it.
The cables can be rated as low as 6A though, which is when 5A fuses are fitted - fuse just needs to be lower than cable / connector ratings.

Those leads are available in various lengths.
(Or you can get rewireable versions of what you're holding to make the desired length).

Ls,
Thanks all for your comments.
Clear now.

Fair enough - not sure it's common currency but as the phrase has it, you can't learn less!
