Accessories: Power strip https://amzn.to/3x1cRJx Screwdriver https://amzn.to/36VrH9N A multiple socket, power strip, multiple plug or power strip provides several electrical devices with a standardized plug connection with a connection to the power grid. To do this, it is connected to a socket and, due to the internal parallel connection, all sockets are supplied with power. It therefore acts as a distributor in contrast to a pure extension cable, which usually only offers a single connection. It is functionally possible to connect several multiple socket strips (MSL) and thus supply a large number of electrical devices with power. However, caution is required here, as MSLs cannot be loaded indefinitely and this can have a negative impact on the safety of the system. The use of portable MSLs and extension cables as a replacement for inadequate fixed electrical installations is prohibited in some countries. In Germany, this represents a fire hazard in electrical systems if used improperly in accordance with DIN VDE 0100 Part 420 Paragraph 4.1. Fixed installation using power strips is prohibited in Switzerland. Improper use also occurs when too many high-power consumers (more than approx. 2300 watts/10 amps in total) are connected to the multiple socket supply cable or more than 3600 watts/16 amps in total to a permanently installed mains socket. Another decisive criterion is the total loop impedance for the circuit in question, which can increase significantly due to contact resistance at additional plug connections. This may mean that short-circuit protection by the upstream fuse is no longer guaranteed, or the short shutdown time of 0.4 s for the TN system required in Germany in VDE 0100-410:2007-06 cannot be met. In addition, the power consumed (measured in watts) must be adapted to the load capacity of the MSL and the circuit. In Switzerland, the cascading of branch plugs is prohibited from 2016 by the SEV 1011:2009/A1:2012 standard, and a maximum of four sockets may be installed. In Germany, this is not permitted - only indirectly, inferred - by the DIN VDE 0620-2-1:2016-01 standard, which requires manufacturers to add warning notices. Accordingly, a device may only be used as intended by the manufacturer. This standard is a test standard for manufacturers of MSL for domestic use. It is controversial to what extent chaining should be prohibited for all MSLs. There are different types of MSL. Very few are suitable for use in wet rooms or outdoors. If water gets into the multiple socket, this can lead to an electric shock and endanger the person handling the MSL.
