Philips 3-Outlet Grounded Cube Tap with Surge Protection - Gray

A: Hi Viv, thanks for reaching out about Philips 3-Outlet Grounded Cube Tap with Surge Protection - Gray. No, you should NOT use the Philips 3-Outlet Grounded Cube Tap with Surge Protection for a juicer that keeps tripping your fuse box. Here's why: Surge Protection is Not the Solution: Surge protection helps protect devices from sudden voltage spikes. It does not address issues of overloading a circuit or a faulty appliance. Potential Overload: Your juicer repeatedly tripping the fuse box strongly suggests that it is drawing too much current for the circuit it's plugged into. Using a multi-outlet tap, even with surge protection, will not change the amount of current the juicer draws. In fact, it could potentially worsen the situation if you end up plugging other devices into the same tap and overloading the circuit even more. Fuse Box Function: Your fuse box (or circuit breaker panel) is designed to protect your home's electrical system from overloads and short circuits. 1 When a circuit draws too much current, the fuse blows or the breaker trips to prevent overheating and potential fires.

A: Viv, thank you for your question. No, it sounds like the juicer is drawing to power for the outlet and a surge protector would not help with that.

A: Hi SalShopper, thanks for reaching out about Philips 3-Outlet Grounded Cube Tap with Surge Protection - Gray. You may be able to plug it into a microwave but for the most part, we should not plug an appliance with high power capacity onto a surge protector. Instead connect it directly to the wall AC socket.

A: You are not suppose to use ones with the surge protection.
