Too many devices in one power outlet?

[ReeDoK]

Hello everyone! So I have one extension cord, with 6 slots. At the moment I have these devices connected: PlayStation 3 Slim, AOC Gaming Monitor, Gaming PC with 650W power supply (not sure if this matters), a HP Printer, a Logitech G25 Force Feedback wheel, Genius 2.1 Speakers and a lamp. Can I turn them on at the same time or is it just too much already? I would like to record PS3 gameplay with a capture card, but I have to use the PC to record, so they must be on at the same time.

Assuming the PC is even drawing 650W (it won't, it's probably more like 300W), it's still well under the maximum limit for a typical home circuit of 1500W. The PS3 would add about 100W, the monitor adds around 30W. The rest are just sipping power, unless you're using an incandescent bulb for some reason.

The only concern would be if the power strip is capable of handling that, but assuming you didn't get a cheap Wally world special, it should be fine.

The power strip has a surge protection and is rated for a maximum of 3600W and 16A, it's not something that cheap, so I think it's fine.

Making certain assumptions about the age of your home/electrical. If the circuit this strip and room run from draw too much power it will throw the breaker. I suspect from what you mention above that the plug strip you are using is robust. This all 'should' be fine.

We utilize some Brother all in one printer/scanner units of which we have liked so much that we have one here at home, one at the office, and I bought one for my mother to use. In all three locations that printer makes the entire bld lights flicker for a moment on start up. I haven't use another brand printer in a while so no idea if your HP does a similar thing. I utilize a wall outlet by itself in that case, even though it is ultimately on the same circuit and breaker.
