Freezer-Extension Lead Exclusion-Guarantee.

Zoomup
A customer of mine has said that the guarantee for his tall freezer is invalidated if the appliance is supplied through an extension lead.


Why is that?


How can an extension lead cause freezer damage? The appliance was running well supplied by an extension lead when I saw it.

    The story about the lotto terminals made me laugh out loud you couldn't make it up could you! I read the information about appliance inrush currents it's not something that normally gets much thought one thing in that article a bit later on was that he said that microwave ovens use half wave rectification is this still true? I ask because I thought half wave rectifiers were now banned in all loads except those of less than 100 watts or so apparently back in he good old days when TVs used half wave it caused problems with transformers overheating so that's why it was banned
