powerboard to powerboard

[Cupe]

is it bad having a 6 slot powerboard running out of a six port powerboard?

[legunner]

I am no expert on this but i think it is better to have the other powerboard hooked up to an empty slot on a wall powerpoint as having another powerboard may overload the first one causing a total power failure.

[Cupe]

don't have enough wall sockets that's the problem

what u running on it

[legunner]

Ah okay then i suppose it would depend on the capacity of the master powerboard

all ur stuff should have a power rating in watts somewhere near the power cord. add all of em together, if the number is less than 2400 and your in australia your sweet

Been told it's not recommended

what about a piggyback out of the powersocket int he wall with 2 powerboards comin out

also, what's the most plugs u can get on a powerboard and it's still safe. i got so much fucken shit to plug in it's not funny

[Jaz]

as in a double adapter running 2 powerboards? yeh we have plenty of that in my place

and the biggest if seen/we sell at my work is a 10 socket with seperate on/off switches for each plug

[Cupe]

how much are the 10 sockets cause that's fucken awesome

[Jaz]

$40ish-$50ish if i recall correctly, they are pretty decent for a cheapish shop, surge protected as well

your in bris right? Crazy Clarks, Sams Warehouse, Go-Lo...we own all three chains, just discount retail stuff, you've got heaps down there, im at Sams but the rest should sell them as well...

[Jaz]

oh and we always have the 8 socket version of it, but only occasionally the 10

if you do find 1 let me know n ill swing u my discount number

[Cupe]

fucken ace

I'm pretty certain you can get like 16 socket boards. Industrial shit though. Mining companys use em

Probs $200 but

it doesnt really matter what combo u have, the socket in the wall is only good for 10 amps. if ur boards are all relativiely new, they will have overload protection anyway. so the one plugged into the wall will just trip off if it reaches 10A

i fuked my mixer due to a power surge and those overload power boards dont do much in the way of protection, i got my self a surge protected power board for think its got 8 sockets for around 80 bucks and they give u insurance on ur equipment up to 25 grand if it fucks up due to a surge

[Cupe]

yea i think im gonna have to fork out for a decent board.

fuck sake

maybe ebay it

this site is pretty good they deliver really quick, never had a prob with them

that board seems pretty good value

[Cupe]

lol @ that site

Rage visits us all at one time or another. Perhaps not to the extent that Tyler Durden displays throughout the movie Fight Club, one would hope, but every now and again it’s bound to happen – unless you take precautions.

yea that's pretty sweet

[Cupe]

anyone know anywhere that can beat that price?

for an 8 plug surge protected board?
