Hello,
Anyone knows whether this mains plug can fit 2.5mm2 cable lead or not?
Yes the MK 655 does accept stnd 2.5mm/2 3core.
I’ve also used them with LoRad and dual screened 2.5, however the dual screened cable was a tight fit and I moved them on.
My dual screen 2.5 cables are now fitted with Permaplug HD 13A, a far better, flexible and less damaging cable grip.
The Permaplugs are used by Vertere Redlines
It will fit, but the official spec is max 1.5mm cable and 11mm max external diameter so a fatter cable may not fit, especially in the cable strain relief.
Just to clarify … ChrisSU is correct in that the official MK cable max OD spec is 11mm, but it can take ‘normal’ 2.5mm PVC 3 core which typically has an OD of around 10mm.
LoRad 2.5mm is 11mm.
The dual screened 2.5mm cable I have is Mark Grant DSP, this has OD of 10mm.
Mark Grant supply their DSP cable assembles with MK 655 plugs as standard.
I suspect MK spec’ing 1.5mm/2 as a max is current.
The plug is rated for 13 amps, 1.5mm cable is typically 16 amps, 2.5mm is aprx 25 amps.
