Hi, just looking for opinions on the proper use of power bars and extension cords.
Where I work there are buildings that are used for accomodations and many people have appliances in their rooms.
They are limited to the types of appliances, basically they are allowed a microwave and a fridge.
Many people have been using power bars and extension cords to supply these appliances.
I am recommending that power bars and extension cords are not to be used to supply these appliances.
I know that fridges usually say don't use extension cords in the manufacturer instructions but I don't think that microwaves say it.
I think that the use of power bars and extension cords with these appliances could cause problems because the people are most likely going to overload the circuit.
Are there any published recommendations on the proper use of these and what is your opinion on their use?
Thanks
