Is it safe to plug a power strip into this?

The directions say to plug the Belkin only into a grounded duplex outlet with a screw in the middle. The Belkin iskind of heavy so you need to take out the screw in the outlet cover and use the screw that comes with the Belkin to secure it to the outlet. It also says that all connected equipment should be plugged directly into the Belkin surge protector. Using any extension cord in conjunction with a Belkin Surge Protector will void all Belkin warranties.

It sure is. That's exactly how I am using mine currently. I have a power strip plugged in for my tv and game consoles.

If it's just a plug strip (non surge protector type) you will be fine, over loading shouldn't be a problem, the GFCI will trip before any damage, then you'll know it's over loaded, just try to keep the power strip to 15 amp current draw. Hope this helps.

NO. Would be absolutely dangerous to plug its pins into a wall outlet. You might see an electrician do it but if you need to ask the question then you are not qualified to try it.

That's what I am doing. No problems till now. It also depends on the quality of extension cord and what else you are connecting to it (if using an extension board with more than 1 plug points. I am using an extension board made for computers, with surge protection.

Yes, that power strip is compatible with all US 3-prong plugs, 110-240V, which makes it nice in that no other hardware is needed.

Yes, make sure your strip outlet does say not to plug into a GFCI. Some strip outlets are circuit breaker only protections while others protect equipment from power dips and surges. This type could cause interference possibly. Always read the instructions and WARNINGS.

Sure, that would work great. You could plug a power strip in and turn everything on or off. Just be sure that if you un-plug and re-plug in, some things do not automatically turn on (ex: newer Ac's, TV's)

I plugged a power strip into the one of the daytime plugs. It works just fine for me

This is only a plug adapter, it is not a transformer. Therefore, while it will allow you to plug any 3-prong or 2-prong US electrical device into it, it will still give you the power of the host receptacle. If your power strip/surge protector is designed to work with the type of power in the host receptacle, then this will do what you want.

It actually depends on the power strip you have, some power strips have more space between each plug-in than some power strips so the answer is yes.

I don't believe so and I wouldn't use an adapter. You will probably blow the powerstrip.

No their is not. It doesn't matter what wattage the device you wish to use as the main (as long as it's not something crazy ie high powered tools, generators etc that will fry the power strip) when you that device is turn the internal circuitry of the power strip will send a response to the other outlets telling them to turn on. If a some or all of your device are not turning on/off at the same time their is a small knob on the side of the strip where you can adjust + or - to make them all work. Most of the time you do not need to touch this as it's very sensitive to adjustments you make.

Please note that this is not a converter. It is a surge protector and power strip.

You can plug anything in, they're just suggestions. The one thing to check is the switched vs. unswitched banks of outlets. The unswitched stay on if the power switch on the power strip is turned off, whereas the others stay on. Useful to think about how you might use the power strip's switch (e.g. leave DVR on as who cares if it is fried, but switch off all the amplifiers).

No it should not you may have bigger problems check to see if you have power or your surge protector is tripped

I think it says not to so I juggled my outlets around and did it without using a strip,then I did plug one into an outlet extender which is essentially a power strip at the wall outlet. It's been fine.

Yes I have a surge protector power strip for each of the adapters to plug into and the power strip is plugged into the wall.
