Shouldn't be done. The problem is the transition resistances between plug pin and plug contact. At higher currents there can be sworms.

The better solution is a dope socket.

Maybe yes, recommended no. Even if you don't have much load, the problem of loop impedance remains with cascade of socket strips. This must be as low as possible, so that a sufficiently high fault current can flow and the fuse can trigger as soon as possible.

Yeah, you can do that…

Only the power consumption is distributed not on the plugs, but only collects at the first. The load is added to an excessive total value and the plug is overloaded.

Although this is not actually too much tension since cell phone and ne lamp do not consume so much power! But still

You shouldn't add 2 vacuum cleaners.

I would still give you an extension cable like this: https://amzn.eu/d/458aWZN recommend this is 5m long!

This is possible, but is recommended not to cascade.

That's not bad as long as you don't get too much.

This would look like two nightstands and two cell phones on it:

Total power: 2 × 40W + 2 × 10W = 100W

Total current: 100 W / 230 V ≅ 0.43 A

It is not only about the power/current but also about the loop impedance. This is important for triggering the circuit breakers in the event of a fault. If the loop impedance is too high, the LSS triggers only delayed or even not.

In addition, you did not take into account the power factor in your account.

Why didn't you answer? You know yourself well, don't you?

But then it would just trigger
