Power Extension Load Test

    Today I made an (over)load test of the dodgy power extension from the last video. Most power strips may cause a fire when overloaded, but some are risky even when loaded within their rating.

    Smoky the bear power supply in truth. Considering that the amount of copper in that cable was probably under 20c as scrap metal, it is amazing it actually held up under 40A for so long. Normally that kind of cable will blow open nearly instantly at around 10A.

      Plenty of older linear supplies can do that, and server blade supplies can do 12V at 100A each, with 2 in any blade server chassis, though they are not too adjustable voltage or current wise.

    Sorry to disappoint you but most of houses breakers are designed to handle 15A continuously except for kitchen oven breaker and clothes driers. I don't think some will used extension cables to withdraw more than 15A in normal room in the house with a breaker destined to trigger at 15A load.
    It is just my critical thinking of the subject, however that doesn't mean that you can use any kind of extension cable with thin core in it.

      North America has 3*240V, but four to six taps. Three extreme taps create each 240V, and one to three middle taps create 2*120V from 240V.
      There's also 208V if you connect extreme to middle taps.

    OK so my house has two types of currents 220v and 380v (because I'm European) and our 220v (which is for the house) has issues with the fuse box, as soon as you plug in a fridge or a computer to a outlet the fuse box turns every thing off, so we have to get it fixed, but like I said we have two currents and 2 fuse boxes completely separate from each other, (the 380v current is for our electric gate and wood furnace) the 380v has a working plug when the 220v turns off the 380v stays on because its separate, so my idea was to daisy chain power supplies from the basement (where the 380v fuse box and plug is) to upstairs to be able to charge our phones and dewalt batteries (the dewalt batteries we use for their torches) so my question is is it safe to daisychain powers extendors?

    My confidence in Chinese extension cords has actually gone up after this, it really took quite a lot of current to get this thing to fail short. 8 amps at the intended voltage of 220V (China's voltage) is 1760 VA, which, assuming they meant 800VA at 220V, is more than double the rating.

      Don't think that would have made any difference in this case though. There was a company making extension leads that had a claim that you could run them at 8A when fully wound, as they had made a special cable that had an external plastic spiral spring that allowed air flow around to keep the sheath cool. Don't see them new any more, but they were good but rather expensive.
