Nitpick: These are not "high voltage draw" items. They plug into, and
receive, the same 110 volts as everything else. They are a high current
(amps) draw. High current is what blows fuses and pops circuit breakers, and
melts cheap extension cords (which, when you get right down to it, are just
a type of fuse....)
