Not sure what country you’re in, but here in the USA we don’t have 13 amp outlets, (if that’s what !3 is supposed to be), the minimum I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen and installed hundreds of recepts, is 15 amp, the better grade ones are 20 amp. Possibly the appliances you’re using in the sockets, (if they are indeed only rated for 13 amps, are pulling 12 sometimes 13 amps. Most recepts are rated for a slightly higher amperage than their label here.
