[QUOTE="Thundrbeet99, post: 505476, member: 33451"] Hi there, I have a socket which was converted to a double socket a few years ago. On this, one socket has a 4 way extension lead with a computer and 2 monitors plugged in. The second had a 4 way extension with a phone charging. When plugging in a laptop charger to this second lead, there was a bang/flash and the circuit tripped. Does anyone know the reason why this happened? I notice with other laptop chargers and extension leads that when plugging in while the socket is switched on, a spark can appear. Is this related? Second question, is having an extension lead on both sockets dangerous? Any help appreciated! [/QUOTE]
