I mainly working on my desk a lot. My whole desk is powered using two power strip (8 and 5 socket) daisy chain. I know daisy chain power strip is dangerous and I have read about it. The wall socket that is nearest to my desk only have two sockets. one I use it for my desk and the other I use it for shelf rack that use for charging my electronic devices. I do not wan so many device on my desk charging that why I build a shelf nearer to the wall socket. I do not wan to daisy chain my power strip as I on it 24/7 for some hosting reason. I want both power strip to be connected directly to the wall outlet but I have only two socket and I need at least 3. I safely take a peak at the wiring inside the wall socket. it consist of 6 wires. I was thinking of asking some electrician to use just 3 wire for my current wall socket and the other 3 for the newly installed wall socket (2 socket). So total I will have 4 sockets. My worry is the power different between 6 and 3 wire. The following are the device on my desk for your estimation -Speaker Amp (spec mention was about 350W) -Small audio equipment 12w~ -DAC 12~ -Xbox -NAS (consumer grade) -Access Point (consumer grade) -Switch (consumer grade) -23in monitor -2x laptop with 90w adapter On my calculation is was about peak and to be safe lets say 900W~ The reason for adding the new socket is I do not want to daisy chain the power strip. I am wonder is this possible to be done and what are the thing that I need to take note of. Thanks alot! =)
