It all depends on how many amps you are running,
the rating of each power strip
and the rating of the wall circuit.
Feel the cord to see if it is overheating.
Turn most of the stuff off when you
are not awake. Something low
power like a clock radio can be
left on.
Anything that draws a lot of power
like a microwave, iron, or rice cooker
can probably share a strip provided
you only run one at a time.
Your refrigerator should be plugged
directly into the wall. |

Wow, thanks for that, all the things I never knew^^
Altho, perhaps you misunderstood my question, altho that is very useful - I meant plugging a six way adapter INTO another six way adapter, so - having a 12 way adapter from one plug. Doesn't sound good does it?
Excuse my electircal ignorance, but this would be the only option that would save me having to manually change my plugs each time I want to use the fan by my desk without having to crawl under my computer table etc etc. hehe |
