  1. Yeah, I was just about to unload on that, then I saw the correction. Your nest of wiring doesn't make me cringe from the load perspective, but rather more from cable management perspective. Cable nests are just bad - you either have to memorize the plugs, or label them, to know what you're plugging in, or unplugging. The NFP study is entirely clear - it's clear you are non-specialist. Electrical malfunction literally mean electrical equipment failing to function as designed - heater elements, cyclotrons, motors, etc.

  2.  @doro8665  I'm selling power centers with as few as three, or as many as nine. Plus-or-minus USB charge and/or data surge ports. Largely, the number ports is traditional, and related to overload paranoia.

  3. I work in the electrical department of a big box hardware store. I wish I could park you in my electrical devices aisle.

  4. Ring circuit wiring has its purpose, but is in many ways less flexible and less amenable to retrofitting additional circuit, as compared to radial circuits.

  5. Also: Every one of my extension cords are visibly and prominently labeled as to their amperage rating.
