However, although strips can handle some devices, there are others that users should avoid connecting them.

It is always best to stay away from connecting electronics that work constantly or anything that can be wet.
The electrical defect, including those caused by power strips, is responsible for about 51,000 home fires every year, according to the US Fire Administration.
About 500 people are lost on average as a result of these fires, and more than 1400 were wounded.
In total, electrical distribution, including power strips, constitutes 10 % of all home fires.
Main devices
Energy strips are not designed to deal with major devices such as refrigerators, dishwashers or washing machines.
The typical energy tape can deal with up to 1,800 watts; Anything bigger can cause the temperature of the tape, according to Entergy.
You can check the power of the power tape by using a poster usually on the back of the device.
Even if the tape does not cause a fire, it may still cause severe damage to the device.
Small devices
Although phone and lamps are ideal for power strips, there are some smaller devices that you should avoid connecting.
Standard kitchen appliances such as coffee makers, air fries, and lawyers should be connected to the wall to ensure safety.
Microwave ovens and roasted ovens should not be connected to the power tape, as the power is very high so that it cannot be dealt with.
AC and heaters
Since the weather becomes warmer, which makes living in a small apartment without an unbearable AC, those who have a portable air conditioner should avoid connecting it in the power bar.
Air conditioning units can definitely cause some damage when connected to the power tape, but space heaters are those that must be paid attention to.
When connected to an extension wire, space heaters usually exceed standard cable capacity.
Outdoor devices
The air barbecue and the extension wire missions often require electronic devices, such as loudspeakers and TVs.
However, doing this can pose heat and weather risks.
Devices to avoid connecting the power bar
- Coffee
- refrigerator
- Freezer
- Roasted
- Space heaters
- Air air conditioning units
- Air Marath
External elements such as the sun, wind, rain and moisture can increase the risk of electric shock when interacting with feverish coils.
If you do not have another option but to use the outdoor power bar, make sure that it is a weather resistant.
Hama increase
With many devices that must be connected, you may feel temptation to connect the power bar to another, but you should think twice before doing this.
Experts have warned that “Daisy” devices can increase the risk of high temperature, fire risk, electric shocks, and guarantees that have been exposed to your devices.
