This may sound a stupid question, but how many adapters should be plugged into a socket, I recently saw a four socket adapter plugged in, with a triple adapter plugged into that at a friends house. A total of 7 items plugged in. Is this safe??
Yes its fine. i've got about 10 items plugged into a double socket here . as long as the total wattage is no more than 3000 you will be ok. computer and tv stuff normally comes nowhere near that.
The multi-way extensions are very handy. Because they plug in, they are protected by the 13A fuse in their own plug (thanks to the UK's wonderful socket-ring-circuit design). Very popular for PC and TV/HiFi conglomerations which have lots of low-power appliances.
Not a good idea for big loads like washing machines, tumble driers or ovens.
