The power rating of the extension cable and the TVs may have an impact on how many TVs you can put into it.
However, if they are all plugged into an extension cord, it is not advised to utilize multiple electronic gadgets at once. Although a TV usually has a moderate power consumption, it is best to only use one or two of them to avoid wires from overheating.

Very different in the US where they don’t have fused plugs, so they have to be very aware of what is all plugged into one outlet.


I’m sure the OP has had a great year and a bit watching his TV, knowing it’s safely plugged in.

But a little side note on extension leads.

Some are only designed for 10A not 13, and will have a 10A fuse. If this fuse blows, replace with the same size…. Don’t put a 13 in.

And for cable reels…. The long ones on a drum… unreel them fully to use, as leaving them coiled up with a high load on them can generate heat build up as it can’t dissipate.
