Can I plug my Series X in to this?

Thank you for contact us! I'm Anderson, an Independent Consultant and a Microsoft user like you.

good morning

Microsoft does not advise using stabilizers, because it can cause problems or not turn on at all, as the xbox has its own internal stabilizer. But this is just a power strip, to "clean" the "noises" of energy, it will not hurt, but in practice it is not necessary.

Thanks for the reply

The things plugged in to it are Virgin Media modem (UK broadband hub)... Ethernet Hub Splitter... Nvidia Shield Pro... Echo Show 10... Lamp & there's 1 socket free which would be for the Series X

I never knew it should say it on the adaptor itself I will take a look, I'm clueless at this sort of stuff so I appreciate the help

Thanks for the reply

It does say it's 13 amps so I'll just make sure i don't exceed that number like you say the things i have plugged in are low powered, i'll make sure i unplug the Series X when i've finished using it and never leave it unattended when it's turned on to be on the safe side, until i can plug it in somewhere more suitable.. I wasn't sure about it but after the comments I've had i feel like i understand it more now.. Thanks

That should be fine. It'd always recommend you use adaptors from a reputable source. Don't buy cheap adaptors and do not under any circumstances plug an adaptor into another adaptor.

Now I'm no electrical expert, but routers and Amazon Echo's are low powered as are hub splitters. The Nvidia Shield is a low powered ARM (the same type of processor SOC you get in a mobile phone) based device. The lamp and the console would be the appliances using the most power here, but still nowhere near 13 amps.

Unplug each plug, and have a look at the fuse in them, then you will know if you have overloaded the power strip or not. Most plugs that come with electrical devices are either moulded or fitted. In moulded ones, the fuse can be popped out using a screwdriver. Fitted plugs, you will need to unscrew the screw in the middle of the plug to take it apart to check the fuse, then just put the plug back together by screwing the screw in again.
