Can You Plug a Surge Protector Into a Surge Protector?

While it might not be the safest thing possible, you technically can plug a surge protector into another surge protector. This is somewhat dangerous though because this increases the chance that you will overload the strip that is directly connected to the wall outlet. While many power strips offer surge protection, there are still issues that can be caused especially if you plug high consumption devices into it. The best thing that you can do is simply invest in a home surge suppressor for peace of mind.</p

Key Takeaways:

• You can plug a surge protector into another surge protector as that will have power flow from one of them to the other.
• Power strips are safer than they previously were but the more devices you connect to a strip, the more likely you overload the strip.
• The best way to get more protection is to simply use a whole house surge protector which connects directly to your power supply.

“There is some evidence to suggest that the protection capabilities of a surge protector can be tampered with if you daisy chain the two devices, and many protector warranties are void if you partake in this practice.”
