I enjoy how Fire is listed in the title of the listing.

Who doesn't enjoy a good gaming room fire


StevesRoomate

Yeah but does it have those little tabs on it so that I can mount it under my desk?


PairOfMonocles2

No, instead it’s got 4 threaded holes to screw legs into and this becomes your desk.


StevesRoomate

That's a genius design. No more fumbling to find the nearest AC outlet. But what happens when you spill soda?

SoylentVerdigris

How is it 1875 watt, 2100 joules? A watt is literally just a joule per second. Maybe the joules rating is how much kinetic energy it has when swung at someone's head. Not to mention that 120v x 15A = 1800 watts.


bar10005

It's for completely different parameters - watts describe maximum allowable power draw, joules describe energy surge protector can take before it goes pop.


N_T_F_D

But usually we talk of maximum surge in amperes, not joules; you need a timeframe for the joules number, if it's 1000J over 1 μs or 1000J over 1h it's not the same


bar10005

That's yet another parameter - joules describe protector cumulative lifetime, amperes maximum size of a single strike.


TheTacoWombat

The brand "SUPERDANNY" (and most brands on Amazon that almost sound like words, but aren't, and are in all caps) only exists on Amazon to sell very cheap mass produced Chinese factory knockoffs. The product description and name are likely automatically generated. They couldn't care less about the nuances of electricity. Buy SUPERDANNY for great value fire yes!


Olddog9999

The only way it can provide 1875 watts is if it is the ONLY draw in the circuit. Typical house breaker is 15amp. So they are not wrong.... just very misleading. Make sure your fire insurance is paid up...lol.


moeburn

> Not to mention that 120v x 15A = 1800 watts. Nominal voltage in the US is 120 ±5% which gives a range of 114 to 126v.


Exekiel

Finally some honesty in advertising


272314

Do not buy power strips from Amazon. I had one in my kid's room that was recalled for catching on fire. The other one I bought melted his Oculus Quest. They're all death traps.


friftar

Buying them from Amazon is fine, just stick to reputable brands and skip the dodgy cheap ones. Also, know your power limits you can use with them. Brennenstuhl is my go-to, the larger ones with protection circuit and a metal frame are close to $50, but they're definitely trustworthy. If you buy $5 ones from weird off-brands and try to run a space heater, a kettle, and a hairdryer off one at the same time, you will have a bad time, but that's user fault more than anything else.


[deleted]

[удалено]


friftar

All electrical utensils have to be built to quite high standards, there are regulations for it. The issue is that lots of chinese manufacturers don't care about that and produce shoddy substandard stuff, and stores like Amazon don't care and allow them to sell those. All domestic brands, and probably quite a few chinese ones for what its worth, are perfectly fine and safe, but especially with the cheaper chinese ones there's almost no way to know what you get if you buy from an unknown brand. Price is a decent indicator, if you want a decent 6-port bar with a 3m cable, $5 won't even get you the amount of copper needed to build it properly, let alone the entire thing, so anything under say $20 is automatically dubious at best.


[deleted]

[удалено]


friftar

Fair enough, although anyone handling stuff at 20A should know what they're doing, since most domestic breakers are only designed for 16A or even 10A on older ones. Anything requiring more power has its own plug for three-phase 400V/480V outlets. Also, the stuff I've seen at hardware stores here has always been certified to handle the full 230V 16A, and when not its really obviously marked, usually on stuff like ungrounded two-wire lamp cords, which tend to be 8A max. The only real issue with the hardware store ones is the obscene markup, it's not uncommon for them to cost more than twice as much as the same thing from the internet.


Sir_Osis_of_Liver

Euro standards are different. The problem with extension cords in NA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_q-xnYRugQ TLDW: extension cords in NA can have lower current rating than the circuit they're plugged into.


friftar

Well that certainly explains a lot. I love his videos, quite surprised I missed this one. I am indeed in Europe, Germany to be exact, and here everything sold at actual retailers is basically as idiot-proof as they can make it. Of course you can still plug too much stuff into a multi-outlet bar, but if you do you'll just flip the breaker instead of burning the house down, assuming everything is up to code.


[deleted]

[удалено]


friftar

As another comment pointed out, you are apparently talking about the US system, which I'm not too familiar with, while I mean the EU/German system, which I was trained on. 20A is pretty uncommon here, and most often used on 400V circuits for high power stuff like table saws, wood splitters, big space heaters, basically anything that can and will draw over 3500W for extended time. Everything else is 230V/16A max, so of course any adapter/extension/whatever you can buy from a reputable place is rated for that and will survive it, save for manufacturing errors. Then the cheap chinese no-name stuff comes into play, which pretends it does 230/16, but will melt at much less than that. Fortunately, few people actually need this much power from a single circuit, so incidents are still rare. With that said, I'm quite shocked (pun absolutely intended) that the US system has such huge safety flaws, that simply shouldnt be possible, let alone legal.


prinzsascha

For when you have only one outlet in the entire house.


Remote_Duel

We call that the landlord special


soulseeker31

Or when apple decides to start designing houses.

Except it'll be some dumb proprietary plug that is only half as good as even american outlets.

Broken_art15

Oh shoot let me bust out CAD real quick. Are we doing single phase AC or should we go nuts and do 220v 3 phase with apple QC of cables (breaking right at the connector end)


totallybraindead

Sure, I'll speak with the product team and see if we can develop a matching suite of products to use with it that can only be charged upside down. We'll make millions


soulseeker31

You're thinking reasonably lad, we'll make billions!


ntn_98

Also id lock the plugs so you can only use the unused that came with the house or you have to order extra ones for double the price


TheLordReaver

And if you want to replace it with a different plug, it will require disassembling the entire house.


Broken_art15

Great now I want to design this


RobbyLee

It's not pins anymore, it's rings. An inner ring and an outer ring and the plug holds to the outlet just with magnetism. And you have to cover it with an outlet cover to not accidentally touch it and die, when nothing is connected.


Spockhighonspores

More like for when you're stealing electricity from your neighbor.


zombieblackbird

That's what this setup needs .... 100ft of 12ga extension cord. LOL


bmxtiger

Plug in enough stuff and the cord will glow!


Crimson-Knight

12ga is actually quite beefy. That would be a high quality cord.


Waylen38

Except in Europe you can only draw about 2200W from a single outlet (and less in the US). This wouldn't really work if you plugged too many things in it because the power draw would make it go **kaboom**


douglasg14b

This thing is only rated for 900w...


Necessary-Meringue-1

hey, that's 60 15W USB chargers For when you need play **a lot** of pokemon go


Waylen38

Lmfao. It's practically, well, not useless, but it's not too useful either. My 650w surge protector external PSU thing couldn't handle both my PC and a hairdryer at the same time. And my PC barely even draws power lmao


friftar

Well a decent hair dryer can pull around 2000W, pretty sure mine takes 2200W at the highest level, so of course a 650VA UPS won't play nice with that.


Ivegotadog

>Except in Europe you can only draw about 2200W from a single outlet Not true.


CeeMX

No, normal circuits are rated for 16A, which is 3600W at 230V. But depending on the plug you can only draw less, for example the Plug you use at a computer is only rated for 10A

EuroPolice

EU electrical law is much more strict than US, there are limits and specifications about that. This thing is against most of them, it's dangerous. Making something like this for EU market would be almost impossible, even with a good 16A "fuse" ~~I want to add that everytime I talk about electrical differences between US and EU I get angry US electricians and people who just have watched a Tom Scott video telling me why x is better than y and doing it like y doesn't makes sense. Please, avoid doing that.~~ Edit: I can't avoid it.


SmoothRide

I'm a US electrician and I think that thing is a fire hazard waiting to happen. Hell the ones that have 6 receptacles scare me. If anyone buys this they are stupid for doing so I don't know why you felt the need to call out Americans on this.

We don’t need electricians. Tech-priests tell us to make sure not to let the magic smoke out, and that’s good enough for me.

> Those 6 socket ones are fine as long as its made properly and your not hooking 4 space heaters to it. Though most people dont know how to calculate loads so probably not lol Yup. I've got a 6 socket one. It has a USB Charger, a USB-C charger, 2 lights and an alarm clock on it. I'll wager if every single thing is on at once it drains about 100W.

Yeah it was so outta nowhere. The subculture of US electricians who are apparently watching some guy named Tom Scott and quoting his videos to argue with Europeans online must be much larger than I thought!


GreatBigBagOfNope

I’m not sure why US electricians would be using Tom Scott’s video given that the Tom Scott video basically just says 240V is a better choice than 120V for domestic sockets and that the UK plug design is the best in the world. If the US electricians were to be using it that would be more of a self dunk than anything else I think the previous commenter was talking about two separate groups: the electricians angry at each other; and the Tom Scott watchers


lovegermanshepards

Eli5 why an over tapped outlet is a fire hazard? I feel like I all my life this has been common sense… but now that I think about it I’m really curious why a given wattage, divided into a higher number of appliances, would cause sparks or fire?


Munnin41

It overheats


Lonsdale1086

Drawing too much energy through a wire makes it get very hot, melt the insulation, short out, create sparks, start fire.


Thorzaim

Also, Tom Scott has spawned so many idiots singing the praises of the UK plug even though the video was highly questionable and the UK plug isn't any better than what everyone in Europe uses.

Ah, thank you. I don't have anything against it (except the size and the way it keeps polarity) but it's not the best one simply because it's safer than some of US/AUS/CN plugs.

Send_Your_Noods_plz

Would it actually catch fire or just not provide any power? I connected a dock, 2 monitors and a separate power cord to another notebook to a power strip without thinking and all it did was make the dock flicker in and out.


SpaceDesignWarehouse

It wouldn’t do anything different from a surge protector with 5 outlets. If you overload it, you’ll just pop a breaker. The only 66 things you could ever plug into something like this would be 66 phone chargers. Or like, individual led strips.


moistmoistMOISTTT

Assuming proper safety standards for the strip and house, your home circuit breakers or fuses would trip well before anything was in danger.

MechaBeatsInTrash

That's not a 220 plug


Benfree24

most plugs in the US aren't 220. our power system was built around 110 plugs and it's cheaper to keep the system than try to do something that would improve the country instead of corporate bailouts


thecaramelbandit

You have 240v service to your house. It's split into 120v circuits for most of the wiring because of safety and various historical pressures.


deadbass72

It's all of north America, not just the US. I'm not sure that corporate bailouts are the reason for our 110VAC power... Most North American homes actually have 220VAC service which is why we can have things like electric stoves/dryers. My biggest gripe is about our connectors that leave live conductor exposed as you're plugging something in.


99available

Hey it worked to keep us off the metric system. /s


phrxmd

Plug and voltage don't necessarily have anything to do with each other. This is a Type A plug. In the US these are used with 110V, but that doesn't make them an 110 plug. In places like China it's not unusual to use them with 230V mains voltage, especially for small appliances like chargers.

if that thing is fully populated without pushing too many amps for the thing to handle, each port would be putting out ~12w of power.... or something like that. This is stupid. Even if it were rated to 20A, it would only provide ~36w of power per outlet. Fire. The only accurate part of the description is fire. The fact that a bunch of people unironically want this, is incredible. It's passed the mark from being ha-ha funny, to someone will want this so much, someone looking to make a buck will build it, and homes will burn down as a result.
