Overloading of a multi plug resulting in overheating and fire


It fine to use a multiplug as it brings convenience. The problem arises when too many high power appliances are connected and on at the same time. The current through the multiplug cable will be too high. Due to the cable resistance, this high current results in large thermal energy generated in the cable. The rubble insulation melts and leads to fire.
