hehe happy to help

Some of your outlets in your house are set up to handle a bit more though, usually its the ones in your kitchen and wash room.

:)

haha:D

Glad it was helpful!

hi, yes its it ok. Just surge protector you are using make sure has a sufficient wattage rating to handle the total power consumption of all the devices connected to both the surge protector and the extension cord. Use a good-quality extension cord that is appropriate for your needs. Make sure it is rated for the maximum power (watts) your devices will draw.

Best is to avoid daisy chain than to be sorry later.

Happy to help

You're right, total wattage for this one room will be around 3000W. Very good question.

@@hardwin82 Or 1800W in N Amer. Thanks for your response. Is it common to have all outlets in a room on one circuit? I'm wondering if I should get an electrician to put them on two circuits. The ceiling light is the only thing in the room on a different circuit. Should all devices state the wattage or amps/volts used so I can calculate the total wattage? My wife is chronically ill and always in her room. I have a small fridge, two-burner stove, kettle, TV, tablet, lights, Oxygen concentrator in the room. The kettle and stove are connected to a power bar. When they're both on, the power bar shuts power off to the two devices. If I connect the stove to the outlet, I'm guessing the breaker will shut off since they're on the same circuit. Aside from only having one of these two devices on at the same time, is configuring two circuits the only solution to resolve this? Thanks again!

@@ES-ge7bb hi. Again very interesting question. Hmmm it's normal for household to be built like this. Only kitchens and bathrooms have extra circuit for appliances . I spoke with electrician at my work place, there is something called tandem breaker. They are great when you need more than 15 amps. But there are limitations. For ex wire might be not thick/good enough. Your case is very complicated, please speak with electrician, it's complicated and any modifications might be dangerous. Wish I could help more.

Me having 4 heat sources for reptiles on the same extension cord😳

Hi. In your case upstairs and downstairs has to be as one. Did you try to turn off the breaker and check what will happen?

If you not reach max amp usage than yes. What country you are from and what devices you want to plug?

short answer yes BUT 10A plug in a 13A socket can cause the fuse to blow more frequently, or even worse, it can cause overheating, leading to a fire hazard. Please remember that 10A is the max and one of the rules is NEVER run devices on max.

@@hardwin82 got it. thnx! i am buying a 3 pin plug tester meter and a usb meter tester to calculate everything.

It's important to ensure that the total power consumption of all your devices doesn't exceed the maximum power rating of the power bar or circuit you're using. One solution would be to use a power bar with a higher power rating than the total power consumption of your devices, but it's important to note that this can be a potential safety hazard if the power bar or circuit is overloaded. Another solution would be to use multiple power bars or outlets to distribute the load. You can try plugging some of your devices into one power bar and the rest into another, making sure that the load is distributed evenly across the power bars. An industrial power bar or power strip may be able to handle the power requirements of your devices, but it's important to check the power rating and ensure that it's appropriate for your needs. It's also important to note that some appliances, such as espresso makers and panini grills, require a significant amount of power to operate, so you may need to consider using separate circuits or a generator to power these devices. In any case, it's always a good idea to consult with a licensed electrician to ensure that your setup is safe and up to code.

I just had a quick look on the internet. Looks like Canada has 15 amps. Again we never should use it on max all the time. Safe is in this case 12 amps. In general, all outlets in one room will be connected to one circuit. So 15 amps in theory is THE MAX in this room.

@@hardwin82 perfect! Thanks

I don't see why not. Just double check how much power devices are using

In that case should be fine. I would b worried if at the end of that you had a few power hungry devices and extension used had thin cable (cheap extension lead has thin wires and that causes heat distribution problem= fire)

@@hardwin82 Just two devices at a time, laptop, macbook or smartphones. I did the multiplication and found that the watts are less than 1000 so i didn't find any major risk😊

@@amoghverma3108 yes all good mate :)

In this room, you have only 1 single plug socket?

@@hardwin82 I have 3 sockets on a fair distance between them. But the new APC UPS just came and it made my decision for me, it will go on battery mode unless it is plugged direectly to the wall without even a tiny strip between. So I connected the rest of the the minor devices (very low power stuff like small desk lamps, and phone chargers) to a strip coming from another socket.

that just mean that total Watts for those sockets cannot exceed 3000W. For ex you can connect a device that takes 2500W and several smaller devices that consume up to 100W each, as long as the total combined wattage of all devices remains below the extension's wattage limit (in this case, 3000W).

I need to know exactly what PCs you have together with everything else like monitors etc. But the short answer is NO if those are gaming PCs, YES if they are normal, nothing fancy PCs for everyday use.

@@hardwin82 One is a gaming pc with an rtx 3060 and the other one is a 4 year old gaming laptop with a 1050ti which uses 150w power brick

@@ScytherXI yes all good here

that's a tricky one, you never know how was connected. I would say 15 amps max. Just found that : "In the United States, a typical double socket wall outlet, also known as a duplex outlet, is designed to handle a maximum electrical load of 15 amps." In theory, if U have the sized to handle 40 AMP wire and a good breaker would work

@@hardwin82 thank you for the reply I’ll definitely keep that in mind

wow 10 PCs, wow. Its a lot, we are talking about gaming PCs?

@@hardwin82 only ryzen 5 5600g for cafe shop, not top tier gaming pc..

@@joshuaedano3455 the be fair we need to measure all the devices, 10 PC is a lot, 10 PC x 200W and we might have a problem. Ideally you want to connect some of them to the different socket in the wall

Theoretical max power consumption for all those device might be bit more that 2000W Dont risk it. It's generally a good idea to have some extra headroom to account for any power spikes or fluctuations that might occur.

​@@hardwin82Thank you for the reply!

It has 5 maximum voltage

yes, no issues here

​@@hardwin82 Hello I have a LG c3 OLED TV will it be okay if I plug extension to it ?

@@soffianfar1d559 What else will be connected together with your TV?

@@hardwin82 just TV and some Led lights I have or if it's better I can just connect the TV to it? I heard TV only takes around 250w what would you recommend?

nice explanation, thx for the comment 👍

hehe

what devices are those?

@@hardwin82 2000w multicooker and 2000w grill

@@DariusUK some curcuit is going directly to some appliences. For ex oven. Braker for this will be different, probably 20 Amps. So 20*230V is 4600W. Sockets will have 13 amps.
