Ok, I'm sorry if this is really dumb thing to do. Now that's out the way!
Anyway, I run a small business out of my house and I have a lot of electronics and tools in a small space. I have one outlet for it all with these surge protectors chained together. In total there are three of them chained to the one outlet with an additional power strip that's mounted to a desk. I'm not sure what it's rated since it came with the desk. It's just a power strip with about 14 outlets. Almost all the outlets on every surge protector is occupied. Never is everything turned on at once but here is a list of items that are hooked into the whole thing
- Desktop Computer x3
- Laptops x2
- Solder station
- Hot air solder station
- Heat gun x 2
- LCD work light
- UV Lamp
- LCD monitor x 3
- LCD TV
- Laser Printer
- USB Hub x2
- Network Switch
- Hot Plate
- Mini Refrigerator
- CCTV DVR
- CCTV Camera x 3
- VHS Player
- Cassette Player
To me, I think that's a lot for what ends up being only ONE outlet! I know it's not right but it started small and now I've lost control. I need help and I don't know how to fix it. In reality very few of these things are ever running at the same time. However, I worry about my safety and the safety of others around me.
What can I do to make this right? I am, obviously, not an electrician so I need an easy solution to this problem that does not involve installing anything new. I need to work with what is available in the car port, which is, I think three sets of dual outlets spread apart. Also what's the danger if I do nothing?
