Sure, an extension cord is extremely useful, but if misused or overloaded, it can become dangerous.

Doing so may cause damage to the device, power outages, or even a fire.

List of devices that cannot be connected

First of all, you should

avoid overloading the extension cord

.

Before buying, be sure to find out its maximum power.

Also, pay attention to the power of the devices you want to plug into the extension cord.

But there are also those

devices that are better not to connect at all:

  • Refrigerator

    - this technique consumes the most electricity, and its maximum capacity is reached very quickly.

    Therefore, you should not connect it to an extension cord.

    This rule also applies to a separate freezer.

  • Heater

    - it is better to connect it not to an extension cord, but to an outlet.

  • Dryer and washing machine

    .

  • Coffee machine

    .

  • Microwave oven

    - it consumes quite a lot of electricity, so it is better not to connect it to an extension cord.

  • Toaster

    .

  • Other extension cords.

If your extension cord has an on/off button, it's best to turn it off at night and on days when you're definitely not going to be home.

Do not forget to get rid of outdated extension cords, as well as faulty ones.

They can cause a fire in the house.
