About International IEC Type G Fuse Protected Power Cables
UK plug type G BS1363 3 pin 13 amp power cord.
The UK Fused plug is one of the safest plug types in the world. It features a ground pin and dedicated grounding conductor to ensure a path for electrical shorts, and also has an internally wired fuse. This will significantly reduce the time that an electrical short will occur when compared with using the standard electrical box fuse. Since the fuse is located right at the point of contact with power, it will reduce the time required for the safety mechanism to work. The power cables are approved under ASTA, which is the local approval agency for products used in the UK.
Singapore outlet plug type G power cords
The Singapore SS 145 Standard 3-Pin 13 amp comes with a fuse and is used in many countries including the United Kingdom. Recently the BS1363A standards have replaced the old Singapore BS 546 standard which is not used in the UK, but is still accepted in India and South Africa. These plugs are the safest in the world since the have both a ground pin and an internal fuse mechanism. The Singapore PSB SPRING Approval Agency, now called Enterprise Singapore is a government agency that oversees the safety of consumer goods like power cables in Singapore. The CPS Scheme ensures that 33 categories of household electrical appliances are tested to ensure safety. Singapore SS145 Standards are a set of standards cover the requirements for 13 amp switched and un-switchable outlets and plugs for household, commercial and industrial purposes in Singapore.

IEC 60320 C13
- 15 Amps
- 125/250V
On 8 of the cords here (29%)
The IEC 60320 C13 is a grounded 3 Wire connector rated up to 250V and 15 Amps. The C13 mates with a C14 inlet, and is commonly used in a jumper cable scenario in IT Installations providing power from a PDU to a server, router, switch or other computing device. Most people know the C13 as 'the thing that plugs into my computer' because it is the standard connector used to power most desktop computers. In a desktop computer application, the most common cable is the NEMA 5-15P to C13, which connects your standard North American wall outlet to a desktop computer.

- 125/250V
On 3 of the cords here (11%)
The IEC 60320 C19 is a grounded 3 Wire connector rated up to 250V and 20 Amps. The C19 mates with a C20 inlet, and is commonly used in a jumper cable scenario in IT Installations providing power from a PDU to a server, router, switch or other computing device. The C19 is typically used in high powered blade server chassis, large network routers, and other IT equipment that draws more power than a standard C13 can accommodate.

On 2 of the cords here (7%)
The IEC 60320 C5 is a grounded 3 Wire connector rated up to 250V and 2.5 Amps Internationally or 125V and 10 Amps in North America. The C5 mates with a C6 inlet, and is commonly used for laptop power supplies, projectors, and some televisions. Being slightly smaller in size than the C13, the C5 can be a good choice for smaller appliances. This connector is sometimes referred to as a "Mickey Mouse" connector due to the shape of the connector looking similar to the kids television show character.

On 2 of the cords here (7%)
The IEC 60320 C7 is an ungrounded 2 Wire connector rated up to 250V and 2.5 Amps Internationally or 125V and 10 Amps in North America. The C7 mates with a C8 inlet, and is commonly used for laptop power supplies, video game consoles, televisions, and other double-insulated small appliances. This connector is sometimes referred to as a "Figure-8" or "Shotgun" connector due to it's shape. A variation of the C7 exists, sometimes referred to as a C7P or C7 Polarized, although it is not documented in the IEC 60320 standard. The C7P has one square side and one circular side so the connector only mates with the inlet using the correct pin configuration.

The IEC 60320 C13 is a grounded 3 Wire connector rated up to 250V and 15 Amps. The C13 mates with a C14 inlet, and is commonly used in a jumper cable scenario in IT Installations providing power from a PDU to a server, router, switch or other computing device. Most people know the C13 as 'the thing that plugs into my computer' because it is the standard connector used to power most desktop computers. In a desktop computer application, the most common cable is the NEMA 5-15P to C13, which connects your standard North American wall outlet to a desktop computer. With the ground at 12:00 and looking at the back of the C13 (when plugged in), the cord exits at 3:00 (to the right).

About International IEC Type G Fuse Protected Power Cables | BS1363 Power Cords
The type G Plug is rated for 250VAC and 13 Amps globally, and features a dedicated ground conductor and an internally fuse protected. The plug is easily identified from the fuse compartment located on the plug face. This added protection was designed as an additional safety measure for the end user. In the event of an electrical short, the amount of time before the over current device trips is greatly reduced by adding it at the plug instead of at the electrical panel.
Which Type G Cord Do You Need? A Quick Buyer's Guide
With 28 BS1363 Type G cords in this collection, the right choice depends on three variables: amperage, connector type, and certification region.
Amperage
- 10 A cords — suitable for laptops, monitors, networking switches, and other light IT loads. Cordage is typically H05VV-F 1.0 mm².
- 13 A cords — for servers, blade chassis, and higher-draw equipment. Cordage is H05VV-F 1.5 mm².
- 2.5 A cords — C5 and C7 connectors for small appliances and compact devices.
Connector Type
- C13 — the most common IT connector; mates with C14 inlets on servers, PDUs, and desktop computers.
- C19 — high-current connector for blade servers and large routers; mates with C20 inlets.
- C5 / C7 — cloverleaf and figure-8 connectors for compact consumer and commercial devices.
- Locking (A-Lock) — C13 and C19 locking variants prevent accidental disconnection in data-center environments.
Certification Region
If the equipment will be used in the UK or Ireland, look for ASTA or BSI marks. For Singapore or Hong Kong, confirm PSB or HKSI approval. ENEC/VDE cords satisfy broader European harmonized requirements. Each product card displays its certifications at a glance.

Frequently asked questions
- What countries use the BS1363 Type G plug?
- The BS1363 Type G plug is the standard in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Singapore, Hong Kong, Bangladesh, Kenya, Cyprus, Malta, Brunei, Ghana, Botswana, and more than a dozen other countries. World Cord Sets lists the approved-for-use countries on each product and offers country-specific collections for the UK and Singapore.
- What is the fuse inside a Type G plug and why does it matter?
- Every BS1363 plug contains an internally wired fuse located at the point where the cord meets live power. Because the fuse is right at the plug — not at the breaker panel — it interrupts a fault faster than a standard circuit-breaker fuse, reducing the duration of any electrical short. This is why the Type G is widely regarded as one of the safest plug designs in the world.
- What certifications do these Type G power cords carry?
- Cords in this collection carry one or more of the following approvals:ASTA / BSI — United KingdomPSB / HKSI — Singapore & Hong KongENEC / VDE / KEMA — European harmonizedSASO — Saudi ArabiaIMQ — ItalySAA — AustraliaRoHS — EU hazardous-substance complianceEach product page lists its specific certifications so you can confirm compliance before ordering.
- Can I get a Type G extension cord or a splitter configuration?
- Yes. The collection includes a BS1363 to 2×C13 splitter cord that lets one Type G outlet feed two IEC C13 devices simultaneously. For a straight extension, look for the BS1363 Angled (M) → BS1363 Angled (F) cord (part GAGC-02039). Custom lengths and configurations are available through the Power Cord Configurator.
