Can this strip be used safely with an ungrounded two prong C adapter? It will fit in two slots.

Such usage would be like plugging any 3 prong plug into a ungrounded outlet. It is ungrounded. Many people do it, but generally, it is not recommended by the professionals.

It totally depends on the components you plug into the strip. It will work. Now if you feel "safe" using that same "C" adapter @ home w/out the strip and the component of your choice, then you should feel "safe" as a conduit between.

Hi Joan, this powerstrip does have a ground. The only adapters I own also have grounds. I don't know much about electricity either. So the answer is, I really don't know. I would suggest sending Monster and email and ask them so that you can be sure. I checked their site. Try this page for their email contact: http://www.monstercable.com/service/contact.asp Sorry I couldnt be of more help

It does not accommodate the "ground" of the B plug though B plug will fit into the converter (the ground prong remains outside of the converter device), so you lose the value of the ground. In some instances that doesn't matter, but in some instances it may.

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.

You can plug two of these into a standard two outlet wall connection. Not sure about a power strip.

No it wont, you beed the ine that takes two PCT slots ans us connected by wire.

The plug is shaped like a teardrop with the larger part having the two prongs. When plugged in it lies parallel with the face plate, i.e., it is perpendicular to the floor and extends beyond the faceplate, not into the other plug. So it shouldn't interfere with whatever you want to plug into the other receptacle. I hope that is clear.

Yes, my lamp is two prong and works just fine. I'm an electrical engineer who specializes in safety and there is not a problem using a polarized (two prong) lamp plug in the grounded (three prong) receptacle.

YES. Your power wire is big enough to use as a ground wire. Use one solid piece of wire for your ground, do NOT splice two wires together.

Yes, you can use an adapterHowever,1) you can only use 1 of the 2 discreet sets of the electric wire in the house. you will have to install the system with the set up steps on page 9 the user's manual (See bullet point # 1 in the Product Knowledge) on sales page. In your case with only 2 prongs you will be better off getting the traditional 2 prongs ASINs: B00F1Z71AG & B006ICDV3M to save money.No GFI, No surge protector because the circuit in those device will alter the signal between the units.

You will need an additional converter. The strip is capable of using both voltages but does not convert voltages

You would be better off the changing the two(2)prong outlet for a three(3)prong.for ground protection.And for a two or three dollars investment,you will be safe

If I understand the question, I don't believe it will. My unit has only two prongs.

It is a 3 prong male setup, with the ground prong folding seperately and in the opposite direction from the hot blades of the adapter. I suppose you could even just leave the ground prong folded if you chose, and use this as a two prong adapter.I doubt if the transformers would be affected, but can't say from experience. Anything you plugged into this device while the ground plug was folded would not be grounded at all.

The original adapter for mine was the square where this is more of a rectangle. You will be able to plug something next to this fine if you are using a wall socket and plugging this into the top slot and anything can plug into the bottom socket. If you are using something like a surge protector then this will cover 2 slots.

Yes it can but you might lose other outlets on the power strip because of its size.

so far, I have linked 2 light strips together with no problem. just make sure that your power adaptor uses the most amps possible without damaging your strips. I believe the most you can use is a 12V 5amp adaptor.

It has a three prong cord and cannot safely be used in a two prong power strip. Infrared is heat emmited in the form of a ray and as such desperses over a wide area instead of regular heat which emerges from a heater for about three feet and then rises up toward the cieling. Mine is on right now and has been reliable and satisfactory for some time.
