Iphone/ipad Leads
3 Answers
In the old days of bulky 240/12v transformers one would never leave cables attached to the mains when devices were unattached because of the fear of coils burning out. Now my iphone & ipad are connected to the mains with a 3 pin plug & a detachable usb cable which also is used to connect to PC for the purpose of syncing. My question is can the cables be safely left connected to the mains when my devices are detached ?

My PC set-up has a number of these types of devices powering various peripherals (powered speakers, Ethernet hub etc). I avoid leaving everything powered by having them all fed via a multi-way extension lead which I unplug when the PC is not in use.
