Power strips are for low-power devices like chargers and lamps, not high-power appliances. Plugging major items like refrigerators, air conditioners, or washing machines into a power strip can cause overheating and fire hazards. Space heaters, which draw significant,
power, should also be plugged directly into a wall outlet to avoid overloading the strip. Similarly, high-wattage devices such as power tools and kitchen appliances should be connected to wall outlets, not power strips, to prevent overheating and potential fire risks. Always ensure devices are plugged in according to their power needs.
