Technological devices are now with us at every moment of our lives. In order to operate some of the devices that we use constantly and that work with electricity in our homes, a socket alone is not enough. In this case, extension cords produced in 3, 6 or 12-wire configurations come into play.
At first glance, the use of extension cords may seem quite practical and life-enhancing, but plugging some technological products into extension cords can have serious consequences. It is stated that using a direct socket is healthier for certain large technological devices. Here are the technological devices that should be plugged directly into a socket without using an extension cord:
Washing machine: Using a socket instead of an extension cord when using a washing machine is a usage method supported by manufacturers. At the same time, a healthy insurance system also plays a big role in this.
Freezer: Refrigerators and freezers are not suitable for use with extension cords as they are items that carry a risk of overvoltage. Therefore, direct socket use is recommended. Using high voltage devices on extension cords can damage the fuse system and cause it to collapse.
Microwave oven: Although they have a more minimal appearance than a regular oven, microwave ovens draw a lot of electricity. For this reason, it would be healthy to plug them directly into an outlet. Plugging such products into an extension cord can even cause electrical fires in the future.
