Outlet Power Strip
Is it safe to plug a power strip into an outlet adapter?
I'll be studying abroad in a different country. I bought a plug adapter but is it safe for me to plug a power strip/surge protector into the adapter?
Yep. I go to Mexico regularly (and have been to several others in the last few yrs) and their electrical outlets are similar to the Europeans. A 110 outlet. Some are converting to 220 electrical lines now, especially in newer or refurbished buildings.
Make sure your adapter (s) are 110 or 220 converters prior to leaving. All power strips can be used on either. Some countries actually sell the power/surge protector strips for 110 but most have been homemade "conversions" so make sure you buy from a reputable dealer and they are in their original packaging and untampered with.
Other than that, you should be fine. Also, your other electronics such as a hairdryer or curling iron should have their own individual adapters to other outlets. 110 are older and are fragile and you could easily burn out an outlet by putting too many things on the surge protector. 1 or 3 items per surge protector for continuous use such as TV, Comp, Phone charging (unplug when not use), and alarm or radio. Hair machines or those times of electronics or machines use a power push and will need to have their own plug.
