The Plug Socket

Sockets & Switches – Switch on to style

Archive for the ‘Plug Socket’ Category

my friend told me that leaving the plug of an appliance in the socket uses electricity, can anyone confirm this?

It depends what the appliance is. A coffee pot with a timer yes, without no. Digital radios yes to keep the stations in memory. Toaster no, anything with a clock like a vcr or microwave yes, tv’s usually have the standby power listed in the owners manual. Vacum cleaner, table lamp no. Cordless phone yes. How’s that for a sloppy list ? :)

because like from my perspective im thinking like in a household, if you have to much stuff plugged into a wall and suckin too much power yo would have to flip the breaker? does it have the same effect, say im running 3 12v accesories off of the 1 cig lighter would that cause me to blow a fuse?

no

Eva-Dry Dehumidifier

Even if they fit, big dehumidifiers in small spaces are wasteful at best. Use the Eva-Dry Dehumidifier instead. Nontoxic, ultra-thirsty silica gel crystals in a compact case absorb high volumes of water vapor from surrounding air. When the blue crystal indicator turns pink, just plug the unit into a socket for a quick low-power recharge, and you’re ready again to protect dampness-vulnerable valuables in drawers, cases, closets and cabinets and on shelves. 4.75″”H x 6.5″”W x 1.5″”D.
