The power strip may be ok. I have mine on a power strip then have a gfci breaker for that circuit.

I don't know what to do now,I hate to risk it but I really need to hatch these eggs !

I say out it on a power strip and leave it at that unless you plan on pouring water all over the socket you should be fine with that.

Ok thanks!

 

[Chicksahoyfarm]

No problem.

Just don't drop the incubator in the bathtub while plugged in.

I plugged it into a normal wall plug in,should be fine as long as wires are kept dry right?

Also,would the humidity that comes past the wires on to the windows affect the wiring/cause shock? May seem dumb but I have no idea about electrical things .

Regardless of all that. If your house is 40 years old and the circut board hasnt been looked at. You really should have it changed over to a modern board with the more sensitive trips for each circut within your house.

Its the first thing i do when we get a new (old) house. Fix the board so i dont accidently kill myself.

Fuses (what you probabily have now) can kill you before the fuse burns and stops the power flowing.

Spend a small amount of money to make your home safe please.
