I have a 6 socket surge protector (now surge protectorless due to the amount of power shortages that have fried the fuse shield which I cant be bothered to replace) which I am using to full capacity and need more sockets.
I do not know the rules or safety requirements of these extension sockets, but would it not be a good idea to put another 6 socket extension into my current 6 socket extension. Whereby I will be left with a total of 11 useable plug spaces.
I cannot see a problem with this as most of the plugs are low power devices apart from the computer system. However Im fearing the sockets might just blow up if demand is too high.
Example of what I have plugged in which may be on or off (ad hoc).
Some items are on simultaneously (e.g. when computer is on printer is on)
Desklamp
Wireless Router
Monitor Power supply
Computer System power supply
5.1 speaker power supply
Printer
Phone/console charger
Clock/radio
electric toothbrush charger
air purifier/ioniser
As you can see, I need to constantly switch plugs. Its not worth buying an 8 socket extension since 2 more plugs is not really going to makea difference.
