I find that US and Japanese made AC plugs often have a bad fit with Chinese extension cord multi-sockets leading to overheating and melting of the plastic. I used to think it was metric versus SAE, but that doesn't hold up. Thin does.

The extension cords, power strips, power cords, plugs, and similar household stuff have wiring or other forms of copper so thin and meager for the voltage and current the device can allegedly handle as to be obviously dangerous. _______________________________________________ Liveaboard mailing list [email protected] To adjust your membership settings over the web http://liveaboardonline.com/mailman/listinfo/liveaboard To subscribe send an email to [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] The archives are at http://www.liveaboardonline.com/pipermail/liveaboard/ To search the archives http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] The Mailman Users Guide can be found here http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/index.html
