Power Strip Overload

Loading…

In a 3D room on a winter morning, plug a hair dryer, heater and kettle into power strips and wall outlets yourself, and watch the currents of parallel appliances add up in one strip cord on current bars and a thermal camera. Measure voltages and currents of series and parallel connections with a multimeter on a lab bench, fix overloads and daisy chains, then choose safety rules with reasons.
