How do extension cables or power strips supply power for 3 plugs if they’re only plugged into 1 outlet?
In: 35
They can do more than 3.
An outlet on a 15amp breaker can supply about 1800W, so you could theoretically hookup 3 600W appliances and see no issues. It’s about wattage delivery.
The one downside to power strips is overloading and using it with high voltage appliances that the internal wiring of the power strip cannot handle, which is dangerous.
