As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.

Before you do any work yourself,

on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,

always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

Can you plug 2 full size fridges into one wall socket or into a power bar for safety?

It is not recommended to plug two full-size fridges into a single wall socket or power bar, as it may overload the circuit and present a fire hazard. It is best to plug each fridge into a separate dedicated outlet to ensure safe operation.


Can you plug a 115v air conditioner into a normal household outlet?

Yes, most standard air conditioners that run on 115V can be plugged into a regular household outlet. However, it's important to check the amps required by the air conditioner and ensure that the outlet can handle the load without overloading the circuit.


Does a double 30 amp breaker mean you have 60 amps for a 220 outlet?

breakers are rated by wire size, not voltage. the appliance manufacturer will probably specify amperage.


Can you plug a 120V amplifier into a regular socket in a household?

No, you can not plug a 240 volt amplifier into a 120 volt outlet. That said there are a number of step-up transformers available that will convert 110V to 220V - that's the simplest way to do it. You should make sure the transformer is rated at many times the power of your amplifier, because of inefficiencies in the amplifier. Look on your amplifier to see how many amps it uses at 220V. Double that number for going to 110 and add 20% more amps as a conversion margin. Take that number and multiply it by 110 to get the watts you need to supply. Size the transformer accordingly. eg. 5 amps @ 220V 5 amps * 2 = 10 amps 10*20% = 2 amps Total amps = 12 amps 12 amps*110 = 1320 watts In this example a transformer rated at or above the calculated wattage is recommended.


Can you connect an on-line UPS rated 1kVA with only a 15A power cable plug into a wall socket of 5A if you are not likely to load the UPS more than 5A at any time?

I suppose, but I never heard of a wall socket with 5 amps. The amperage rating of anything is based on the lesser of either the wire size or the circuit breaker. Minimum wire size for residential wiring has been #14 or 15 amps for years and years. If in fact it is really a 5 amp wall socket, then your question is moot. If we could all be sure that we could all the time control what is plugged into a wall outlet, we wouldn't need electrical codes, but someday you are going to move and whatever wiring you have will still be there, waiting for the next guy to plug in a toaster oven. Consider yourself forewarned. Lawyers love stuff like this.
