Yes, you can plug your desktop PC into a power strip, but it’s important to choose one with built-in surge protection. A standard power strip doesn't protect against power surges, which can damage your PC. Avoid plugging too many high-powered devices into the same strip to prevent overloading.
A surge protector provides protection against voltage spikes by diverting excess energy away from your devices, helping prevent damage from power surges. A power strip, on the other hand, simply offers multiple outlets to plug in several devices at once but may not include surge protection.
Avoid plugging high-wattage devices like space heaters, refrigerators, microwaves, and air conditioners into a power strip, as they draw too much power and can overload the strip, leading to fire hazards. Other appliances, such as hair dryers and coffee makers, should also be plugged directly into wall outlets. Additionally, avoid daisy-chaining multiple power strips together, as this increases the risk of overheating and electrical issues.
Yes, it's generally safe to leave a desktop power strip plugged in all the time, provided it’s of high quality and not overloaded. Ensure the power strip has safety features like surge protection and isn't covered, which could lead to overheating. Regularly check for signs of wear or damage. For added safety, unplug it during storms or when leaving home for extended periods.
