I have a 4 socket. My television and my Playstation are connected there. I still have a cable on the 4-way socket, which connects a 3-way socket. At the 3 socket there's either my laptop or my cell phone charging. However, when I connect either my laptop or cell phone, small sparks appear. Since I'm not an electrician, I wanted to ask someone among you what that could be. I only changed the socket a few days ago, but it still happens. Is that because I connected the 3-way socket to the 4-way socket?
You shouldn't actually connect multiple sockets - can be dangerous.
Okay, I kind of thought that.
Gladly
No, not really
we often have several sockets inside each other
you can make it easy, nothing works
do you only have the spark when plugging in and out?
that is normal
if they are always there, it is not normal
Only when plugging in and unplugging. The problem is a couple of years ago there was a case where everything burned out my TV, my cell phone which was connected and my Playstation. That's why I want to be careful there.
Throw away what sparks and buy a new one.
I've been doing this for 20 years and have never had anything
sparks are normal when plugging in and unplugging
when the current flow begins and ends, voltage peaks arise everywhere and always, this is due to physical reasons
that is normal
if sparks come while it is running, it is no longer normal
There should not be a 3-way socket behind a 4-way socket. With small loads such as chargers, this is still acceptable. Nevertheless, it is better to operate the 3-way socket on another wall socket.
If the plug is firmly seated and there are no contact problems (failure of the device, crackling in the socket), the sparks come from plugging in that the device capacitors are discharged and initially draw a high current. Another reason would be e.g. With the laptop power supply, when the device is in operation and the battery is discharged. Even then, the current is particularly high when plugged in. In such cases, it is better to plug the power adapter into the socket first, then connect the adapter to the laptop.
Rubbish, these are simply the inrush currents of the switching power supplies.
Might be. But it is not clear. He doesn't write exactly when it is broadcasting or how long it is broadcasting.
If in doubt, read a Buchi.
