How many watts can my 10A/250V multiplug supply? Because I have a vacuum cleaner which needs 1400-1600w to operate and I want to operate it with my multiplug which says it can provide 10A/250V, so can I?

To determine the maximum wattage your 10A/250V multiplug can supply, you can use the formula: Watts = Volts × Amps.

In this case, your multiplug is rated for 10A at 250V:

Watts = 250V × 10A = 2500W

So, your 10A/250V multiplug can supply a maximum of 2500 watts.

Now, let's check if you can operate your vacuum cleaner, which requires 1400-1600 watts:

If your vacuum cleaner requires 1400 watts: Yes, you can operate it because it is below the maximum capacity of the multiplug (1400W < 2500W).
If your vacuum cleaner requires 1600 watts: Yes, you can also operate it because it is still below the maximum capacity of the multiplug (1600W < 2500W).

As long as the wattage of your vacuum cleaner falls within the range of 1400-1600 watts, it can be safely operated using the 10A/250V multiplug.
