Hi guys, i would like to ask, what's the difference with looping wall plug and extensions? they both still come out from the same point rite? How high can each point tahan the wattage? Just recently realize, my old house have too many extension cords, every room and area only have 1 plug point.

QUOTE(fireballs @ Nov 24 2019, 09:31 PM) depend on the wire back to db I see, i have room that require 2 extension cords, plug on each other to extend the length and usage. I believe it is not safe to do so, hence i was thinking, if do looping will it be the same.some old house even share he wire with two rooms. typically, looping wall plug is better extension use plug that can heat up at the pins. wall plug not so much if the wires done properly. but in the end, is the cable back to db that matters.  |
