How many extensions can I put on a standard power point

pinkfloydian

I have 3 wall power points and I need to provide power to 11 items, with 2 spares.

The groupings are determined more by their location in the room than anything else. I have a couple of questions:-

1)Am I overloading anywhere with the configurations below?
2)Am I OK to have PC on an extension? (I only have 3 outlets)
3)Ideally, I would like to buy extensions that I can screw to side of desk. Are these readily available?

Extension 1
DVD player
TV
Horizon TV Box
Lamp
Spare

Extension 2
DECT House Phone
Router
PC Monitor
Lamp

Extension 3 (to include USB)
Desktop PC
Printer
PC Speakers
Spare

Each socket is rated at 13 Amps. This means they can handle approximately 3000 watts(13 amps × 230 volts). Add the wattage of each device you have plugged into the extension lead. If the total wattage is less than 3000 it should be ok.
Most of the items you have mentioned are low powered appliances so it shouldn't be a problem.

It's ok to have a pc on an extension. It only becomes a problem if you have multiple PC's on a circuit.

Most of these type extension leads can be screwed to the side of a desk
