Connecting Multiple Power Strips: Safe Usage for Computer, Dryer, Printer

Hello
I have a question
I have one socket and one power strip in the room, which is a bit too small (7 sockets), can I connect another strip to this strip and normally connect devices such as a computer, dryer, printer to this second strip?

Provided that the sum of the power of all devices turned on at the same time does not exceed the permissible load of the socket and the installation connected to it - by default, as standard, it is about 2200W

what I would have to connect there to get 2200w
computer 500w dryer with 20w in total, barely 800 will accumulate

20W dryer? I do not believe for example mine has 1600W

well, if the dryer is 1600w, why does the computer only pull 500?
that is, it comes out of fear to connect, however?

Because you have a heater in the dryer, and in the computer? only a power supply and, on top of that, an impulse one

Safer 75% of 2200W
(correction for consumption when switching on and starting the strip - when turning on the device, they temporarily consume more power - unless they have a soft start [there is still the question of what type of receivers, because something else is a heating stove and something else a power supply for something there]).
100% do not recommend. Why ?
primo: the power consumption of a given device can be averaged, i.e. it takes more W for start-up than when it is already on
secondo: measurement conditions, etc., health and safety (in the sense that the strip is protected against overheating, if it will work for a few hours at exactly 2200W, what is the cable cross-section, manufacturer, technical condition of the contacts, I do not even mention the risk of a blind earthing pin [and there are sometimes such cases] etc.).
tetrio: extension cord for extension cord = decrease in efficiency of the entire line compared to a longer extension cord.

The answer is simple: Yes, but immediately insure your home against a fire due to a short circuit in the electrical system
(the decision is yours)

2200W strip ... provided that it is not a ladybug for PLN 25, because they can withstand 220W (laptop + night lamp ) even radio Maryja cannot do it.

Exactly.


ps What are these slats acar, ever, or hashimotsu super power 2500W

no name slats
ok, so I already understand more or less, and if I have a double contact in the wall, each of them can pull 2200w or 1100w each?
I currently have a strip for 7 sockets, the following are connected:
- monitor
- computer (brand 400w power supply)
- loudspeakers
- modem
- printer
- phone charger
i think it all gets no more than 300w all the time

Maybe in turn:

The limitation is the fuse, somewhere in the hall, but it usually sums up all the devices in the house. Maybe some great new installation would
separated rooms, if, however, there are 2 fuses - one for the light and the other for the sockets, it is as I wrote.

\ if it is e.g. 10A - it gives 2200 (2400W) power, it is the sum of power for all sockets.

Assuming nothing else is turned on - then you have 2200 W to yourself.

The second limitation is the quality of the socket and its connection. If it is welded and corroded, it will spark and heat the pins of the plug.

If you are okay, you can charge yourself either one socket or two equally. Connect one strip or two - it doesn't matter. As long as the sum in the strip does not exceed its permissible load.

Sample power consumption:

computer set - 100 - 500 W
monitor - 50 w
dryer 1000 - 2000 W
the rest of the little things a total of 50 W.

so 2200w is for the whole house?
and after exceeding 2200w there will be a big boom?
it`s strange because we have 3 modern computers + 1 laptop at home
plus 3 TVs - almost non-stop
I`m not counting crap like printers, scanners, phone chargers and the like. sometimes two hair dryers run at the same time, which means that the house should have gone up in smoke a long time ago

From what my colleagues write, it may be so. I will add a few words from myself. Go to the fuse box. See how many of them you have there. If more than one Look for a fuse responsible for your room (a specific socket). The easiest way is to turn them off one by one until the socket stops working. Then turn on all except yours. Take a walk around the house and see if there is electricity everywhere.
We already know on which circuit your socket is, and what else is connected to it. Now some math You have a magic inscription on the fuses, eg B16 B10 or similar. This means how many amps can flow in this circuit. The power you can download is max "value after the letter" * 230V (simplified) e.g. 10A * 230V = 2300W
We already know how many watts your socket can give us.

Most of the strips are equipped with a fuse. The maximum value of the current is written on it. We calculate the power in the same way as above. This is what the strip can give away.

If the calculated power value from the fuse in the switchgear is greater than the sum of the power of the expected loads, you can easily connect whatever you want, paying attention to the fuses in the strip.

It was so pathological
