Is it safe to use extension cord with another extension cord?

[Hans Christian | Teri]

Yes.

Yes. 

 

But not recommended, and if you are ever audited by an inspector, you will fail.

So it could be dangerous?

So it could be dangerous?

Could, Yes. 

 

1. Extension cords can move, be moved, so wear and tear can happen quicker.

2. They can be come partially unplugged, allowing shorts to happen.

3. But as long as it's a temporary solution, its probably fine!
