It works, but it is a heavy, awkward thing to keep in the shed, it goes flat at the wrong moment, and most people would rather not drag it out every time a box of frames needs wiring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the \u003cstrong\u003eplug-in power adaptor\u003c\/strong\u003e for our electric wire embedder. Plug it into a \u003cstrong\u003estandard wall socket\u003c\/strong\u003e, connect the embedder, and you have steady \u003cstrong\u003e12V DC\u003c\/strong\u003e for as long as the job takes. It is the same unit offered as the optional add-on on the embedder listing, sold on its own for anyone who bought the embedder without it or wants a spare for a second workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Steady Power Matters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe embedder passes a current through the frame wire. The wire warms, sinks into the wax foundation, and the wax sets around it a second later. For that to go cleanly the voltage has to hold. Too little and the wire sits on top of the sheet; too much and it cuts straight through. A mains adaptor gives the \u003cstrong\u003esame output on the fiftieth frame as on the first\u003c\/strong\u003e, which a half-charged car battery does not, so you spend less time fixing frames that did not take.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho It Is For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuy it if you already own our electric wire embedder and have been running it from a battery, or if you want a second adaptor for another shed. If you have not bought the embedder yet, it is simpler to choose the power adaptor option on the embedder listing and get both in one parcel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat It Will Not Do\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts job is to power the embedder. Do not count on it to run other 12V gear unless the connector and current draw match, and \u003cstrong\u003ekeep it under cover\u003c\/strong\u003e, since it is not built for rain or a wet bench. It is matched to our embedder, so if you own a different brand, check the plug and voltage on yours before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e plug-in mains power adaptor for the electric wire embedder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12V DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInput:\u003c\/strong\u003e standard Australian wall socket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beekeeping Gear electric wire embedder (also sold as an add-on on that listing)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShipping weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1kg as listed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Beekeeping Gear","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40260647256149,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0062\/5029\/9477\/files\/electric-wire-embedder-with-optional-battery-charger-1-1.webp?v=1779459839","url":"https:\/\/www.beekeepinggear.com.au\/products\/electric-wire-embedder-power-adaptor-12v","provider":"Beekeeping Gear","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
