Powermax BSR Grey Socket
The Powermax BSR Twin Socket provides a high-integrity electrical connection point for commercial and industrial infrastructure. This dual-outlet unit supports a 13-ampere load per gang and operates within standard 230V to 250V AC parameters. The grey finish offers a neutral aesthetic suitable for modern office environments and technical rooms. Engineering teams prioritize this model for its adherence to BS 1363-2 safety requirements. The internal architecture utilizes solid copper busbars to maintain thermal efficiency during peak current draw. High-impact polycarbonate construction ensures the faceplate resists mechanical stress in high-traffic areas.

Installed several of these Powermax twin sockets in our new office space in Westlands. The switches have a solid ‘click’ and don’t feel flimsy like the cheap ones we used to find downtown. Good quality for the price and the grey color fits the modern look we wanted.

The grey finish is much better than the standard white ones if you have dark walls. Looks very premium in my living room and feels quite sturdy.

Good socket and the grey color is nice, but I found the terminal screws a bit tight to loosen initially during installation. Once fixed though, it works perfectly and looks smart on the wall. Much better than the common plastic types.
