Power strips (also called relocatable power taps or RPTs) are not to be
used to power appliances such as coffee pots, microwave ovens, toasters
or refrigerators. Power strips also cannot be used with extension cords
(constitutes a daisy chain extension cord).
If you have any questions, please contact SLAC’s Electrical Safety
Officer (Ext. 2039).
