INDRICO® Extension Board with Long Wire 2 Universal & Normal Socket 1 Switch 6 Amp (White) (3 Meter)

What is an extension board?

An extension board, also known as a power strip, is a device that allows you to connect multiple electrical devices to a single wall outlet. It essentially expands the number of available outlets by providing several sockets on a single cord.

Does an extension board use electricity?

No, the extension board itself doesn’t use electricity. It acts as a conductor, channeling the electricity from the wall outlet to the devices plugged into it. Only the devices themselves will consume power.

How many devices can I plug into an extension board?

This depends on the power rating of the extension board, typically measured in watts or amps. It’s crucial not to overload the board by exceeding its capacity. Generally, you can safely connect 5-6 devices like phone chargers, lamps, or fans. Avoid plugging in high-powered appliances like refrigerators or air conditioners unless the board is specifically rated for such use.

Is it safe to use extension cords with extension boards?

For safety reasons, it’s generally not recommended to plug an extension cord into another extension cord (daisy chaining). This can significantly increase the risk of overloading and potential fire hazards.

What safety features should I look for in an extension board?

Look for features like:

• Surge protection: This safeguards your devices from sudden voltage spikes that can damage electronics.
• Overload protection: This automatically cuts power if the total wattage exceeds the board’s capacity.
• Individual switches: This allows you to turn off power to specific outlets without unplugging the entire board.
• Grounded outlets: These provide a path for any stray current to flow, reducing the risk of electric shock.

How can I use an extension board safely?

• Never overload the board. Check the wattage rating and avoid exceeding it.
• Don’t use damaged extension boards with frayed cords or loose plugs.
• Avoid placing the board near heat sources or wet areas.
• unplug the board when not in use for extended periods.
