Overloaded power points and power boards can overheat and cause a fire in your
home.
To prevent this from happening:
- Never overload power points;
- Never connect power boards or double adaptors together;
- Check power boards for signs of damage or discolouration, if found discard immediately;
- Buy quality power boards with an overload protection device (RCD); and
- Provide adequate ventilation around the power board.
