1) Connect another plug-in: the mistake not to be made.
In this configuration, the maximum power will be exceeded immediately, increasing the risk of fire and electrocution. The cascading branch is therefore to be banned without hesitation.
2) Refrigerator: too greedy
With a consumption that revolves around 200 to 500 kWh per year, the refrigerator is one of the most energy-intensive appliances in the house with the freezer (including small and large household appliances). Knowing that, in addition, its connection is permanent, it represents a certain danger and must therefore have its own wall outlet for optimum safety. If you still plug it into a multi-strip, you will reach the maximum power of the plug and therefore not be able to multiply the electrical connections without risk. Its use would then lose all its meaning.
3) Large household appliances, not ideal in general
Whether it is the washing machine, the oven or the dryer, the average consumption of this type of apparatus is very high. For example, a washing machine consumes an average of 191 kWh per year, or even more depending on the model. As with the refrigerator or freezer, it is therefore better to provide an individual wall outlet so as to minimize the risks of dangerous overheating.
4) Additional heating or electric heating
Both auxiliary heating and electric heating do not belong to a multi-strip or extension. These devices are in fact too energy-consuming. Moreover, these units are not designed to manage the high current flow necessary for the proper operation of this type of installation. Because of the flow of energy, the risks of overheating and starting a fire are very high.
(5) The coffee maker, to be connected elsewhere also
Small household appliances can also be very energy-intensive. This is particularly the case for the coffee machine, which is also used several times a day, leading to the risk of overheating.
