Are your Sockets Overloaded?
The Electrical Safety Council (ESC) have recently launched a Socket Overload Calculator which allows householders to see if they are overloading their sockets.
Overloading electric sockets is the cause of many house fires in the UK and whilst most people use a 4 way bar adapter (which is recommended over a multi plug adapter) it seems many householders are still unclear about what items are safe to plug in.
