Quick Question

Degag · 2010-10-06 16:04:37

Hey all, not at all sure if this is the correct forum but maybe you can help me anyway.:) I have a 4 way adapter connected to one wall socket, is it any way dangerous to connect a 3 way adapter to the other wall socket? Thanks.

I suppose it depends on what's plugged in - but it does sound like there is potential for overloading. Each socket is effectively using the same cable back to the fuse board, feeding other sockets in the same room and maybe other rooms also.
