Powermax BSR Socket
The Powermax BSR 13A Socket provides a standardized power interface for British Type G electrical systems in commercial and technical environments. This single-gang outlet adheres to the BS 1363-2 manufacturing standard. It supports a continuous load of 13 amperes at a nominal voltage of 250V AC. The black finish caters to modern IT infrastructure aesthetics where dark-colored rack equipment or interior design requires visual consistency. The internal construction utilizes high-grade brass components to maintain low contact resistance. This design minimizes heat generation during peak electrical demand cycles.
Safety remains a primary engineering priority for the BSR series. The unit incorporates a mandatory child-resistant shutter system. These shutters only open upon the simultaneous insertion of the live and neutral pins, triggered by the earth pin. This mechanism prevents accidental contact with energized internal parts. The housing consists of flame-retardant polycarbonate material. This thermoplastic provides high impact resistance and maintains structural integrity under significant thermal stress. It also resists yellowing or degradation from UV exposure in environments with high ambient light.
Installation efficiency defines the mechanical layout of this electrical accessory. The rear housing features large, clearly marked terminals for live, neutral, and earth connections. These terminals accommodate up to three 2.5mm² cables or two 4.0mm² cables simultaneously. Top-facing terminal screws allow installers to secure wiring quickly from a single orientation. Captive screws prevent the loss of hardware during the mounting process. The plate fits standard 86mm x 86mm backboxes with a minimum depth of 25mm for standard wiring or 35mm for looped circuits.
The unit operates reliably within a temperature range of -5°C to +40°C. It maintains a 3mm minimum contact gap for effective circuit isolation when switched models are utilized. This specific variant provides a clean, unswitched interface for devices requiring constant power uptime. The matte black surface finish resists fingerprints and common chemical cleaning agents used in data centers. Procurement teams can manage large-scale deployments easily due to the standardized carton packaging of 100 units per box.

As an electrical fundi, I’ve installed many brands, but this BSR series is quite sturdy. The terminals are easy to wire and the internal brass components feel heavy-duty. It’s a reliable 13A socket for the price, especially for clients who want that ‘dark theme’ look in their offices.

Good socket, just make sure your walls are well-finished because the black color highlights any white dust or rough paint around the edges. Quality is top but the matte finish attracts fingerprints a bit.

Delivery to Kitengela was very prompt. The socket is exactly as described and fits perfectly into the standard pattress box. Happy with the service.

Affordable and looks expensive. I replaced all the sockets in my master bedroom with these and they work perfectly. No issues so far.

These Powermax BSR sockets are a game changer for interior decor. Most shops only stock the usual white ones, but this black finish gives the house a very modern, executive feel. Solid build and doesn’t feel like cheap plastic.
