I would like to put my PC (400 watt PSU), my monitor (24inch 1080p 60Hz), LED Stripes (about 2 meters) and my PS4 Slim in a five-fold multiple socket and wanted to ask if that endures the multiple socket or whether it is too much electricity. I know that theoretically you can also put 5 things in there, but I also know that one should rather not take 5 things with a lot of power consumption.
Hmm you have to infect as much as you want, if it is too much triggers a security device in the distribution box. But that's not how much electricity I think
The maximum current carrying capacity is on the multiple socket on it, for many manufacturers, for example, "3500W" or "16A" (depending on how the manufacturer holds, so whether correctly with power or incorrectly with performance).
In any case, if the power strip carries a real VDE, TÜV or whatever seal and is undamaged, the few hundred watts of PC and small stuff are no problem.
The circuit breaker protects the correct design but only the installation line and not possible consumers. A proper multiple socket should, however, easily withstand the usual 16A.
It is not the number of plugs. That can go from 1 -5. What really matters is the power in watts. In a circuit with a 16 amp fuse are the 3600 watts that you have available. You just have to count all the services of your devices together and get the total performance. As long as it stays below the 3600 watts, everything is in the green. An example: Postive and negative
PC 400 W, 70 W printer, 60 W monitor, 120 W LED, 10 V mobile phone charger = 660 W total
Fan heater 2000 W, vacuum cleaner 1000 W, coffee machine 900 W = 3900 W total
I know
