I have two outlets (each with two plugs) in a bedroom of my house. I'm going to be grounding them and replacing them with outlets with 3-prong plugs. One caveat is that I have an AC that needs to be in a plug by itself, otherwise if I have a surge protector in the same outlet (different plug obv), I can't be running too many more devices when the AC is running.
Anyhow, so I have 6 devices (PS3, PS4, XBox One, a Wii U, a Samsung Tv, and a Vizio Soundbar) in the surge protector that's currently going into the outlet where the AC will be.
I was thinking about moving those 6 devices into a 12 outlet surge protector on the opposite wall, with my computer (300W-400W computer, nothing fancy), my router and modem plugged into it.
Is it safe to have 9+ devices in one surge protector plugged into one outlet? I won't be running all of the devices at once, but it's not uncommon for me to have a game console, my computer, my router, my modem, my tv, and my soundbar on all at once - and I don't know if that's too much power for one U.S. outlet?
