Running the timer in between the wall and the main chord

Hi guys.

This one might be a bit tricky to explain but I'll do my best.

I have this white chord with 5 sockets to which the fan, lights and AC are connected to. This chord goes to the wall. I wanted to ask if it'll be okay to connect the white chord (with the 5 sockets) to the timer, and the timer to the wall.

In other words, will the timer handle the electricity that runs in the main chord?

Wall ----- Timer ------ Main cable with 5 sockets

Hope this makes sense :shock:
 
If I am correct they are rated on the load they can handle. So would depend if your timer is rated high enough for what you're pulling threw it. If it's not I'm sure there's one that is.

yeh if its a heavy duty timer should be fine - some cheaper ones might blip

do you want everything.. your fan etc.. all to go off with the timer?

would run the timer on one of the sockets to regulate what you want you shouldnt be switching everything off should have your fans running all the time if you put the load of everything through a timer you will more than likely burn it out dude.

my heavy duty timer says 15 amps which matches the breaker, so if yours is the same you should be ok. Also hold the timer, see if it's hot.
