Assuming the fire marshal=92s issue is not with the lack of 3 wire power
connectors, perhaps he is concerned with protection from a short circuit
within one of the heaters or wiring. An outlet strip would have its own
fuse or circuit breaker.

If this is true, why not use a 3 wire outlet strip, together with a 3 to
2 prong adapter which plugs into the humidistat?

BTW, doesn=92t the humidistat already have its own current limiting =
device
for protection?

Hello list,
=20
I have a music department who is "under attack" from the school's fire
department related to our product in a number of pianos.  The bottom
line is that the fire marshal has requested that multiple dehumidifiers
connect to the Humidistat via a "power strip", rather than a series of
Add-An-Outlets or a three way adaptor.  I thought this would be easy but
my search and that of our purchasing agent have only turned up power
strips with a grounded plug.  Our Humidistat won't accept the ground
pin.  Has anyone ran into this before and found a solution?  Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
