Using power strips to connect electrical devices is very convenient and affordable. However, it’s important to know that there are certain dangers associated with them.
If you connect very powerful devices or put too much strain on the power strip, it can cause serious problems. It can cause fires, harm devices, and cut off power. I don’t know how to express that.
I only said that because that’s what I went through. Since then, I have been very careful about what I do… Here are nine things you should never plug into a power strip.
First, make sure to check the maximum amount of power the power strip can handle.
Before I give you the list of electrical devices that should not be connected to a power source, there is an important piece of information you need to be aware of. You can know how much electricity a power strip can handle by checking its cord.
Therefore, read this information before you consider connecting any electrical devices. After that, it’s simple. The combined power of all devices plugged into the power strip needs to be calculated.
Can you show me how to figure out how strong a device is?
This information is written on every electrical device, just like on the power strip. I will explain this using a particular example. Imagine that the maximum power your power strip can handle is 3500 watts. To use your oven, which needs 2500 watts, you need to plug it in. For instance, consider your 800 W vacuum and 250 W kettle. With a total of 3550 watts (2500 + 800 + 250), you have exceeded the 3500 watt limit. In this specific situation, there is only one solution.
To reduce the power being used by the power strip, disconnect one of the electrical devices from it. If not managed correctly, it can be very dangerous. Here is a list of things that should not be plugged into a power strip.
First, the stove.
It would be difficult to find a home appliance that uses more energy than the oven. Even if you don’t use it often, never plug it into a power strip!
To avoid the risk of dangerous overheating, it is best to use a different electrical socket.
