main power

[gilljaz]

hi,
im thinking this maybe too much for 1 main powered wall socket to be used on a power strip

psu:     12v, 2.67a, 4120ma, 49.44 watts,
monitor: 240v, 1.5a, 1500ma, 42 watts,
subwoofer:     12v, 1.5a, 1500ma, 18.00 watts,
laptop:     18.5v, 3.5a, 3500ma,  64.75 watts,

australian standards are 10amps, 2400 watts

if needed i can just charge the laptop
and only use the laptop on battery power saving some amp power there

When you smell plastic burning, see smoke or feel fire. then I would unplug stuff.  I like getting those old office power switches for monitor, PC, etc.  Getting everything switched takes the guess work out it.  I have 3 29 inch monitors, 2 700W PCs all in one 15amp jack.  The lights do dim when I power them on....  Yet if I have the microwave, kettle and coffee maker on at the same time, it blows the fuse in the kitchen.. Go figure.

You're nowhere near the 10amp limit with what you have listed there. Check what amp rating your power strip has - it may be less than 10amps. It's not the number of devices you have plugged in that counts, it's the power they draw in total. I have a power strip with 2 cabs, a TV, a dehumidifier and some decorative lighting plugged into it, and it's still nowhere near the max (13amps here in UK).

If the power strip plug gets hot, that's a good sign the strip is getting overloaded. I have a plug-in power meter that tells me exactly how much current is being drawn. You get get them cheap from ebay etc. You need to watch things like electric heaters, as they can draw some serious current when turned up high.

You won,t blow anything with those items there,  we used to daisy chain 4 way extension blocks at work and have about 15 machines all powered up at the same time, as we had 4 extensions plugged into main and then each of those had 4 extensions off them, gave us 16 slots, only needed 1 monitor and a switch box. They then ran through diagnostics for 24 hours.  Never blew a fuse.  I have a 10 way extension here with 65" TV PS4, 500W Dolby Surround Setup, Router, Switch, Sattelite Box, Nas Box, 4 Way extension, (Runs 46" Monitor, PC, Portable HDD,) Network to power cable adapter,  and Christmas lights all hanging off of it,  the 13A fuse still hasn't popped

Only time I popped a fuse was when I tried to run my Hot tub and my Table saw off of the same 13A fused connection.    Won't be doing that again.

I think where you are getting confused is where you are looking at the current ratings that you have written down only. The PSU, sub and laptop ratings you have supplied are the outputs of those devices, not the input requirements. Take another look at those devices and find the rating that starts with 240v. That is the current rating you should be looking at which will be the draw from the supply.
Also as others have said, that will be the maximum draw of that device and you should be well within that spec.
As already stated, you will have no problem running those devices from your 10A rated power board.

The kettle seems redundant. If it's on the stove top, that might be it. In the US, ovens and stove tops are separate breakers of 15-30 amps.

Thank you everyone for your replies i feel a lot safer now knowing im not going to blow something up
