Line8 power tracks are engineered with patented technology to ensure superior safety while maximizing connectivity and flexibility. The system uses a specialized tap-off connection (like an electrical bus-bar) that prevents the dangerous overloading issues common with conventional power strips.
Electrical Load Capacity (Safety First)
Maximum Track Capacity: Line8 tracks are certified under IEC61534 for a maximum continuous load of 32A (or 8,000W), which is the high-load capacity typically supplied to major appliances.
Adaptor Capacity: Each individual adaptor handles up to 13A at 250V.
Wiring Limitation: While the Line8 track can safely carry 32A, the total power drawn must always remain within the limits of your home's main wiring circuit (usually 20A or 5,000W), which is protected by your circuit breaker (MCB).
Example: You can use high-powered appliances like an air fryer and water boiler simultaneously, as long as their combined load stays safely within your home’s wiring limit.
Physical Adaptor Capacity (How to Calculate)
The number of adaptors that can physically fit depends on the track length and the model's end-cap/maintenance-cover size. Line8 can accommodate up to 14 adaptors per meter (1000mm) on its standard tracks.
Approximate Calculation Method (for planning):
Start with Total Track Length (in mm)
Subtract End-Caps (10mm)
Subtract Maintenance Cover Length:
Model SL/R (Power Only): Subtract 60mm.
Model SL/TL-w (White Light): Subtract 90mm.
Model SL/TL-rgb (Smart RGB): Subtract 120mm.
Divide Remaining Length by 65mm (space required per adaptor)
With Line8, you can power all your essential devices safely and efficiently, ensuring their combined load stays within your home’s wiring limits.
-
To determine the maximum number of adaptors that can physically fit onto a Line8 track, follow this simple calculation. This formula accounts for the space taken by the essential components at the ends of the track.
The Adaptor Capacity Calculation
Start with the Total Track Length (in mm).
Subtract the Maintenance Cover Length: This length is reserved for the electrical terminals and smart/lighting controllers, and it varies by model:
Model S/R (Power Only): Subtract 60mm.
Model SL-w / TL-w (White LED Models): Subtract 90mm.
Model SL-rgb / TL-rgb (Smart RGB Models): Subtract 120mm.
Subtract the End Cap Space: Subtract a total of 10mm for the two end caps.
Divide the Remaining Length: Divide the result by 65mm, which is the minimum space required to engage and fit one adaptor.
Example Calculation
For a 1000mm Power Only track:
1000mm (Total Length)
- 60mm (Maintenance Cover) 940mm
- 10mm (End Caps) 930mm
÷ 65mm (per Adaptor) ≈ 14 adaptors

It is normal for a small amount of dirt or fine dust to enter the track opening during everyday use. Rest assured, this will not impact the safety or performance of your Line8 system.
Self-Cleaning Functionality: The patented design of the track and adaptor includes a self-cleaning feature. As the adaptor is inserted and rotated to the engaged position, the mechanism is designed to push any small debris out of the electrical contact path, ensuring the connections remain clear and functional.
Aesthetic Cleaning: For aesthetic purposes, if debris becomes noticeable, cleaning the track is straightforward:
Ensure all adaptors are removed and the main power is off (as a general safety practice).
Use a standard vacuum cleaner with a narrow nozzle to easily remove dust and debris from the track aperture.
Wipe the exterior surface of the track with a dry or lightly dampened cloth.
Regular, simple maintenance is all that is required to keep your track looking clean and operating with its intended functionality and safety.
-
The Line8 system is engineered with our patented Triple Redundancy Safety (TRS) technology, making it safe to touch and preventing activation by foreign objects.
It is safe to insert a finger or non-matching object (like a key or screwdriver) into the track opening because the internal conductors are protected by three distinct safety layers:
1. Asymmetrical Lock and Key Design (Always Off): The power track remains in a mechanically-open circuit (always off) state, even when connected to the main power. The circuit can only be closed by the precisely machined "key" found exclusively on a Line8 adaptor, which must be inserted to the correct depth, height, and length. A finger or foreign object cannot close the circuit.
2. Active Grounded Shield (Protection Layer): The track opening is flanked by two actively grounded silver aluminium strips. These strips act as a robust electrical shield (based on the Faraday Cage principle). If a foreign object or a finger were to bridge the opening, it would immediately be shunted to the earth/ground, providing a safe path for any stray electrical energy.
3. Engagement Protection System (Final Defense): In the unlikely event of an electrical fault or leakage detected by the system, the protective shielding mechanism ensures that the fault current is safely discharged to the Earth line, which will immediately trigger your home's RCCB/ELCB (Residual Current Circuit Breaker) to trip and cut off the power supply, ensuring complete and immediate user protection.
These three layers guarantee that the track is finger-safe (IP2X certified), preventing accidental activation or electrocution even by curious children.
-
Line8 tracks and adaptors are engineered to high safety standards to prevent electrical hazards from water exposure, particularly in common areas like the kitchen and workspace.
Water Resistance and Protection (IP Rating)
Splashes and Drips: Our tracks and adaptors carry an Ingress Protection rating of at least IP2X (finger safe) and utilize robust design features to protect the electrical contacts from everyday splashes and mist.1 The live and neutral electrical conductors are recessed far from the track opening to prevent surface water from creating an electrical bridge.
Durable Materials: The track housing is made from aerospace-grade, hard-anodized aluminum, and the adaptors are constructed from PBT engineering polymer. These materials are inherently non-rusting, highly durable, and chemically resistant.
Safety Mechanism in Case of Contact
In the unlikely event that a large volume of water enters the track and creates an electrical leakage path:
Immediate Grounding: The track's metal housing and the patented Active Grounded Shield strips surrounding the opening ensure that any stray electrical energy is immediately discharged to the Earth line.3
Circuit Trip: This immediate discharge triggers your home's RCCB/ELCB (Residual Current Circuit Breaker), which instantly cuts off the main electrical supply to the entire circuit, preventing shock and further risk.
Recovery: Once the track is completely dry (ensuring no remaining risk of leakage), the RCCB/ELCB can be reset, and the power track can be safely used again without the need for repair or replacement.
These multi-layered safety features ensure that Line8 products are highly durable and safe, even with accidental exposure to water.
-
No, international adaptors are intended for commercial and overseas use only in Singapore.
In Singapore, all power sockets used in residential homes must carry the Safety Mark, which ensures their safe design and usage. However, international adaptors cannot be Safety Mark certified because they use an international socket type instead of the British 3-pin standard. The Safety Mark applies only to adaptors with the British 3-pin socket type.
Despite this, our international adaptors are rigorously tested and meet the internationally recognized IEC 60884 standard, ensuring safety and reliability for global applications.
For residential use in Singapore, we recommend selecting from our range of British (3-pin) adaptors, such as the Premium British Adaptor or Zen British Adaptor, both certified with the Safety Mark for compliance and peace of mind.
-
Line8 power tracks and adaptors are constructed with high-performance, durable, and heat-resistant materials, making them exceptionally safe for kitchen environments where heat, steam, and minor splashes are common.
Material Safety and Durability

Many competing tracks mimic the look of a power track but cut corners on essential safety and electrical engineering standards. Line8 addresses these critical failures through patented design and compliance:
Flawed Grounding Systems: Competitors often use thin, undersized grounding conductors that are only visually present to satisfy a basic electrical test. A genuine grounding system must be robust enough to safely carry the full fault current ($\mathbf{32A}$ or more) without overheating and melting. Line8 uses a full-size, rated grounding conductor to ensure the safety system remains intact and functional during an electrical fault.
Reversed Polarity Danger: Some competitor adaptors allow bi-directional insertion (i.e., you can plug it in upside down). This fatally reverses the Live and Neutral contacts, a blatant violation of electrical safety codes. Reversed polarity can energize appliance chassis or wiring even when the switch is off, posing a serious electrocution risk. Line8 adaptors are designed for unidirectional engagement only to guarantee correct polarity at all times.
Missing Safety Features: Low-cost tracks often lack the patented Lock & Key and Active Grounded Shield technology, leaving live components exposed and relying only on plastic flaps, which degrade over time.
-
Line8's superior safety and durability stem from being designed and manufactured as a certified electrical distribution system, not a consumer accessory.
Certified Safety Core: Line8 adheres to rigorous international electrical standards (IEC 61534, BS, SS), guaranteeing components meet industrial-grade specifications for fire resistance, load capacity, and contact durability.
Overload Prevention: The patented internal tap-off connection (mimicking a permanent electrical bus-bar) ensures that the track can safely draw current for all connected adaptors up to 32A, eliminating the overloading risk associated with standard multi-plugs.
Lifetime Component Quality: We use premium materials like machined copper conductors, silver-inlay switches, and aerospace-grade aluminum to ensure the track maintains its electrical integrity and contact quality over decades, which is a key requirement for a system backed by a Lifetime Warranty.
-
No. Line8 is engineered with a focus on long-term mechanical durability, unlike systems that rely on cheap, wear-prone parts.
Zero Rubber Components: Many competing power tracks rely on rubber or plastic flaps and friction to maintain contact, which degrades quickly with heat and frequent use. Line8 uses a robust, full mechanical system with zero rubber parts.
Durable Electrical Contacts: The internal conductors and adaptor pins use premium materials (like machined copper alloys and pure silver for switches) that are highly corrosion-resistant and designed for low resistance.
Longevity Testing: The system is built to last, exceeding industrial durability tests to handle over 50,000 cycles of adaptor insertion and removal without compromising electrical contact quality or safety.
-
While the initial price of a certified Line8 track may be higher than uncertified imports, the long-term cost of ownership and safety makes Line8 the superior financial choice.
Safety is Priceless: Cheaper tracks often fail to meet mandated safety standards (like proper grounding or correct polarity), creating a severe fire and electrocution risk that no small saving can justify.
Lifetime Investment vs. Disposable Item: Line8 is a reusable asset covered by a Lifetime Warranty on the track and premium adaptors. Low-cost alternatives are disposable and often need replacement within a few years due to electrical arcing, degradation, or melting.
The Hidden Cost of Replacement: The cost of replacing failed uncertified tracks—plus the associated electrician fees—quickly exceeds the initial investment in a quality, warranted, and safe Line8 system.

How many adaptors can fit on a particular length of track?
To determine how many adaptors can fit on a Line8 track, follow this calculation:
Subtract the Maintenance Cover Length:
Power Only Tracks: 60mm
SL-w Tracks (with White LED functionality): 90mm
SL-rgb Tracks (with Smart RGB lighting): 120mm
Subtract the Size of the End Caps: Total of 10mm.
Divide the Remaining Length: After subtracting the cover and end cap lengths, divide the remaining track length by 65mm, which is the space required to engage one adaptor.
Example Calculation:
For a 1000mm Power Only track:
Subtract maintenance cover (60mm) = 940mm
Subtract end caps (10mm) = 930mm
Divide by adaptor length (65mm): 930 ÷ 65 = approximately 14 adaptors.
This formula ensures precise utilization of the available space while maintaining the integrity and functionality of the track.

How do I handle dirt and dust in the power track?
It’s normal for a small amount of dirt or dust to enter the power track during regular use. Rest assured, this will not impact the track’s performance, as the self-cleaning contact mechanism ensures that the electrical connections remain clear and functional during engagement.
For aesthetic purposes, if the dirt becomes noticeable, you can clean the track using a standard vacuum cleaner to remove debris and maintain its appearance. Regular maintenance is simple and keeps your track looking as good as new without compromising its functionality.
What happens if I put fingers and foreign objects inside the Line8 Power Track?
Yes, it is safe to put your finger inside a Line8 power track, thanks to the advanced safety features built into the system.
Asymmetrical Lock and Key Design: The power track features an asymmetrical lock-and-key mechanism, which ensures that a non-matching key cannot tap into the power conductors. This prevents accidental contact with live electrical components.
Actively Grounded Shield: The openings of our tracks are protected by two silver strips of actively grounded shields. These shields prevent any electrical leakage by providing a safe path to discharge electrical energy. In the unlikely event of leakage, the system will trigger the RCCB (Residual Current Circuit Breaker) to trip and cut off the electrical supply, ensuring immediate protection.
These safety features make it safe to interact with the track as long as the system is used properly. For optimal safety, always ensure the track and adaptors are used as intended and that no foreign objects are inserted beyond the designated openings.
What happens if we splash water on the track and adaptors?
Light Splashes of Water: Light splashes of water will not affect the Line8 power tracks or adaptors. This is because the live and neutral contacts are located at the extreme ends of the power core, far from any potential water exposure.
Submersion or Electrical Contact: In the unlikely event that the track is fully submerged in water, or water creates an electrical connection with the live conductors, the aluminium core and housing of the Line8 track are actively grounded. This ensures that any electrical energy is immediately discharged to the ground via the active grounding system. At the same time, the RCCD (Residual Current Circuit Breaker) will be triggered, cutting off the electrical supply to prevent any further risk.
Track and Component Durability: The track and its components are made from materials that do not rust and are resistant to water damage. If the track is exposed to water, the RCCD will remain tripped until it is safe to use again. Once the track is completely dry, with no remaining risk of leakage, the RCCD can be reset, and the power track can be safely used without the need for repair or replacement.
These safety features ensure that Line8 power tracks and adaptors are both safe and durable, even in the unlikely event of exposure to water.
Can I purchase international adaptors for home use in Singapore?
No, international adaptors are intended for commercial and overseas use only in Singapore.
In Singapore, all power sockets used in residential homes must carry the Safety Mark, which ensures their safe design and usage. However, international adaptors cannot be Safety Mark certified because they use an international socket type instead of the British 3-pin standard. The Safety Mark applies only to adaptors with the British 3-pin socket type.
Despite this, our international adaptors are rigorously tested and meet the internationally recognized IEC 60884 standard, ensuring safety and reliability for global applications.
For residential use in Singapore, we recommend selecting from our range of British (3-pin) adaptors, such as the Premium British Adaptor or Zen British Adaptor, both certified with the Safety Mark for compliance and peace of mind.
