not to practice octopus wiring. Octopus wiring is pacing a lot of extensions to a wall socket. This is dangerous because if the total current that passes through the wires exceeds the indicated rating, it could create too much heat and start a fire (The maximum current rating is usually at 10 Amperes for household units).
Octopus wiring is not dangerous if the total
current that passes through the wires is less than the indicated maximum rating. If all plugs are securely placed into sockets – meaning they are not loose, and if the total load that is placed into the wall socket is small, then there is no problem
