Using power strips is practical, but it can be risky. Overloading them with energy-hungry devices can lead to appliance damage, power outages, or even fires. I know this from experience, and it made me much more cautious.
Power strips have a maximum power limit, and exceeding it can cause serious issues. Always check the power rating before plugging in high-energy devices.
To avoid these dangers, be mindful of what you plug into a power strip. I’ve compiled a list of nine devices that should never be plugged in to stay safe.
Being careful and informed can help prevent electrical failures and keep your home safe.
