Electrical Strip Rated 15 amps | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

HarleylitoOGR Forum Member

I just bought a 12 outlet electrical strip from Harbor Freight. It's rated for 15 amps. I plan to use it to plug in my 2 postwar ZWs and maybe a smaller transformer or two (Z500, Z1000). Since it is rated at 15 amps will this be ok to use in this capacity???

Dale - it does have a surge suppressor so I guess I'm ok.
