i had used the power supply several times before i had plugged it into the extension block. What i had done was undervolt the power supply, and thats what killed it. Or the block pulled too much energy and thats what fried it.
Undervoltage can be destructive to electric motors. Undervoltage does not harm electronics. Numbers. Voltage drops below 5% are bad for electric motors. Voltage drops of even 20% mean electronics must still work normally. How low can voltage drop? Electronics must work normally and even startup normally when the incandescent bulb is less than 50% intensity. An international standard that has existed long before the IBM PC even existed. And is unknown (apparently) to a majoriity of computer techs.
Power supply only draws the energy it needs. Again, you can short together all outputs of a power supply, then turn on AC power. And even that maximum loading does not harm any standard power supply.
Does not matter even if the wall plug is rated for 500 amps. Neither the monitor nor computer will draw any more power. Both contain power supplies that only draw what is required - nothing more.
How many amps will a wall receptacle provide? That is defined by the shape of the holes that your plug attaches to. If a plug can provide more than 15 amps, then its holes for a plug will be shaped differently. Your plug probably has the holes for NEMA5-15. That means it is rated for 15 amps and connected either to a 15 amp or 20 amp circuit breaker inside the breaker box. That also means the appliance must be limiited to (rated to consume) less than 13 amps.
