Hi,
I am a little confused about something, and I don't want to burn the place down.

I have 2 accessories that draw 2000 watts each, so well within the 13A x 230v maximum of 2990w. so that's the reason those fuses don't blow... however, I have them connected to an extension cable, which has only 1 13A plug.. so will connecting 2 accessories drawing 2000w each, blow the fuse in the one plug?

Also, what would the safest way to do this be? Should I just re-cable both and plug them directly in to the wall socket... and is that any safer considering its going to be the same wall plate that has 2 sockets?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
