If you have a powerful enough charging station, you can use it to power your own apartment or individual rooms in the house using special equipment, he says Techno 24However, it often happens that instead of dragging an extension cord down the hallway, the idea comes up to simply connect the power station to the nearest outlet using a plug-to-plug cable.

Although a power cord with two plugs can be purchased ready-made, the procedure for connecting it is inherently very risky, so it is not recommended in any case.

Users must first ensure that: complete failure of the main power supply in the power plantThis requires a special automatic switch that independently switches the power sources from main to backup when there is no electricity and vice versa when electricity appears.

As they often do

• Before connecting the switchboard to the apartment, make sure that the main power supply in the apartment is completely cut off by turning off the input circuit breaker in the switchboard.
• Then one plug of the power cord is connected to the charging station, it is turned on, and the other plug of the power cord is connected to an electrical outlet in the apartment.
• After the power is turned on, the charging station’s power must be turned off, the cables must be removed from both sockets, and the input circuit breaker on the switchboard must be opened.

Why is this a truly dangerous method?

If the automatic switch is opened when the station is connected to the apartment via an electrical cable, the current from the network will collide with the current from the switchboard.

Since the current of the power station is usually weaker, this collision can seriously damage the station, break it, and even cause a fire as the current can burn the circuit board of the power station. This can cause a fire that will pose an extremely serious danger to your apartment or house.

So while using a two-prong power cord to power your apartment from a portable charging station may seem like a viable option, the risks far outweigh the benefits.

It is also necessary to understand the number of electricity consumers in the apartment that will be powered by the station in this mode. There is also special equipment, after installation of which the station can really turn into a backup power source for the apartment and work in automatic mode.

However, you should look for professional electricians who will explain the equipment required for installation, make the connection correctly and provide a safety guarantee.
