While plugging electrical appliances into power strips is super

practical and economical, did you know that this can carry certain risks?

Plugging in very energy-consuming devices or overloading the power

strip can actually cause real failures. It can damage household

appliances, cause power outages, but also cause fires! How can I say that?

I said that simply because it happened to me. I can tell you that

since then, I have been extremely careful about what I doโ€ฆ Discover 9 devices to never plug into a power strip.

First, look at the maximum power of the power strip

Before giving you the list of electrical devices not to plug in, itโ€™s

necessary to know one thing. On all power strips, the maximum power they can support is indicated on the power cable.

So the first thing to do before plugging in your electrical devices

is to look at this information. Then, itโ€™s very simple. You must

add the power of each device that is plugged into the power strip.

How do I know what the power of this or that device is, will you tell me?

Well, as with the power strip, this information is written on each electrical device.

Iโ€™ll give you a concrete example. Imagine that your power strip tolerates a maximum power of

3500 W. If you plug in your oven which consumes 2500 W at the same time. Your vacuum cleaner

which consumes 800 W and your kettle which consumes 250 W. You exceed 3500 W

(2500 + 800 + 250) = 3550 W. There is only one solution in this specific case.

Unplug one of the electrical devices from the power strip to return below its

maximum power threshold. Otherwise, it can be very dangerous.

Now letโ€™s look at all the devices that should not be plugged into a power strip.

1. The oven
The oven is undoubtedly among the most energy-intensive household

appliances. Even if you donโ€™t use it regularly, you absolutely should not plug it into a power strip!

It is better to provide an individual wall outlet to avoid the risk of dangerous overheating.

2. The refrigerator

So I know what youโ€™re going to tell me. The refrigerator is not the

household appliance that consumes the most of all household appliances.

Since it doesnโ€™t consume too much energy, we say to ourselves that itโ€™s good.

It can be plugged into an extension cord without any problem. Well no !

Letโ€™s not forget that a refrigerator is electrical voltage sent 24 hours

a day to the power strip. So, plug this type of device into an extension

cord, you forget. And then Iโ€™m talking about refrigerators, but this also concerns freezers.

3. The washing machine
A washing machine consumes on average 1150 kWh per year. It is therefore

a very energy-intensive device and therefore not recommended at all for a power strip.

Plugging the washing machine into a wall outlet avoids any risk of short

circuiting and overheating of the extension cord. The same goes for

tumble dryers. They consume way too much electricity to leave them plugged into a power strip.

4. Auxiliary heating
Iโ€™m not telling you that you shouldnโ€™t use it, but remember to plug it

directly into a wall outlet. Never on an extension cord, because this device very quickly overloads the power strip.

5. The microwave
Never believe that this little metal box doesnโ€™t consume any energy.

A microwave can consume on average 70 kWh per year. You see, itโ€™s

not nothing. You should therefore avoid plugging it into an extension cord.

6. The coffee maker
You might think that a small machine like a coffee maker consumes nothing.

In reality, it is quite electricity-intensive with consumption estimated at 165 kWh/year. So plug this device into a wall outlet.

7. Le grille-pain

If you toast buns every morning, you consume between 500 and 1000 W per year!

Yes, thatโ€™s a lot for such a small device. All this to tell you that you should avoid plugging it into a power strip.

8. Another extension

Do you have a lot of electrical appliances to plug in? So you use several extension

cords connected to each other. Very, very bad idea! By doing this

, the maximum authorized power of the power strip can very quickly be exceeded.

This type of bad practice is also the cause of many domestic fires!

9. The internet box, the computer and the TV
So the internet box, the computer and the television do not consume a lot of electricity. On the other hand, these devices are particularly sensitive to any electrical problem (overvoltage, etc.).

So, avoid plugging them into a power strip or equip yourself with a surge protector.

Conclusion There you have it; you now know which electrical devices you should not plug into a power strip.

The chances of fire are fortunately quite low, but prevention is better than cure! Because the risks of overheating are indeed

MY DAUGHTER SWITCHED SEATS MID-FLIGHTโ€”AND I FOUND OUT WHY TOO LATE It was supposed to be a quiet flight. Just me and my daughter, Reyna, heading to Phoenix to see my sister. Iโ€™d packed snacks, downloaded a few cartoons on the iPad, and even brought her unicorn plushie that she wonโ€™t sleep without. We boarded early, settled into our seatsโ€”me by the window, Reyna in the middle. I had just started zoning out, watching the tarmac, when I realized she was no longer beside me. I turned my head and there she was, squished in next to a man across the aisle, looking up at him like she knew him. โ€œReyna,โ€ I said, trying to keep my voice calm. โ€œCome back over here, baby.โ€ She turned to me with the most serious face Iโ€™ve ever seen on a four-year-old and said, โ€œNo, I wanna sit with Grandpa.โ€ I laughed awkwardly. โ€œSweetie, thatโ€™s not Grandpa.โ€ The man looked just as confused as I was. โ€œIโ€™m sorry,โ€ he said, glancing between us. โ€œIโ€™ve never met her before.โ€ But Reyna didnโ€™t budge. She grabbed the manโ€™s arm with both hands and leaned in like she was guarding him. โ€œShe knows me,โ€ she insisted. โ€œYouโ€™re Grandpa Mike.โ€ My stomach dropped. Not because I recognized the guyโ€”he was a stranger to meโ€”but because of the name. Mike. Thatโ€™s my dadโ€™s name. The dad who left when I was seven. The one Reynaโ€™s never met. The one I never talk about. I tried to laugh it off again, but something about the way Reyna kept staring at him made my chest tighten. The man looked just as shaken as I felt. Then he said something I didnโ€™t expect.โฌ‡๏ธ Continue reading in the first comment ๐Ÿ‘‡
