welcome back today
I'm just going to do quick follow on from double adaptor dangers
and share with you a couple tips on choosing the right powerl board for your
workplace
or even your home. now this morning I went to the local hardware store
trotted down to the electrical section and before me a great wall of powerboards
there were over 45 different boards on display
they range from three dollars to
over 150 dollars. which one is right for you
well let's have a look at a couple of them and that might help you make the right
decision
at the low end we are looking at around the
3, 4, 5 possibly six dollars depending on where you shop
for a very basic powerboard
It doesn't have any particular fancy features. Its got
overload protection but no remember all powerboards sold in Australia
must have and an overload protection device. They are very good
very reliable the only problem is
when this is plugged in all the outlets are potentially live. If
something drops in, could cause a problem. So
what's the solution?
we can look at apparel bowled like this one
this is a6 Edward obviously six at which we can say
this also got some switches along the top so
any unused outlets you can actually
turn the pale or you can even use it as an extra switched
appliances on or off well worth
investing in if you expect to have some unused
athletes you also notice that they said because
makes the warrants placing that's for adapters
these days we seem to have a lot of that place and
many of them quite wide and I can intrude
I the the other athletes which means that you can't use them
so you might have before which tailbone you might only be able to put 10
to adapt one or two it happens probably to adept as possibly a third one
so by spice in them water must
adept as we complete the mall in bike for you sir
so thats I E 60
lip balm and the switches that's the mind
feature wanted to show you on that
another one variation to that is
the child-proof held if you got young kids R M
well worth having a look at these they've got a right iting
cap on the front it confuses some adults to not just the kids
well you do it you get a quote for the writer
and cushion netted the other one to protect
so what's there not switched it also prevents anything from falling into them
and creating potential risks a
which mod also see is a little blue label
in this case it's referring to I'm overload I'm
my blood sorry I voltage surge protector
these is something that's really important I think
if you've got quite a quick or expensive
equipment such as you tables even fridges
if you purview for Jim to a parable where
surgical errors voltage surge more than 275 alt
the little in my very metal oxide varistor it's like a little switch in
the
and it just over certain still got the vote going all the way through to the
appliances that committed and potentially damaging them
just over 2 strike to get through the neutral or through the earth
or I don't have unlimited love Tom
the number of surges the intensity of them come with them out
King are recommended if you've got
computers if you pardon computers into a pair was should be using those
or if you've got other expensive equipment table easel
fridges or other items like that well worth investing in
the surge protector another one which if you're trying to be
I'm sure you'd be familiar with and that's the tidy
para board which like all sometimes on them
got little fails to come over like them weatherproof
for Atlas on them got the switches
but that got the mandatory overload protection but it for fun
the Hussey in said it's good I
CD or safety switch essential in fact if you going on to a building or
construction site by work which one with your
held Scott and I say quoted
good feature it'll probably head unfortunately
where thirty or forty dollars to repair would but it could save your life
so there's a couple things got steady pay rowboat
or pay awards must have got a load a protection divorce
switches on a gentler is well worth considering
you've got the surge protector voltage
surge protector highly recommended with sensitive equipment special computers
and other things TVs fridges et cetera
and if you going outside use one
that is specifically designed for its old and has a with the writing
and also consider the acid
the safety switch I hope that helps if you got me questions
