Can you run a 3 ton heat pump with a 7000 watt generator?
No. The heat pump (your outdoor unit) and indoor blower motor will run ok at these power levels, but here is the bad news - if the heat pump can't meet the temperature demand (or it gets below ~ 20F outside), the furnace will attempt to turn on several electric strip heaters (as emergency backup). These strip heaters are rated from ~ 5000W to 20000W, depending on the size of your home. Your generator can't handle that load.
Power strip trips then goe back on is this safe?
If the power strip trips it is trying to tell you something. To much load. If it goes back on by itself then there is a problem with the power strip it is supposed to be a manual reset. If it doesn't trip when you take some of the load off then there is nothing wrong with the power strip. Add up all the load amperages and see what they total. My power bars are rated at 15 amps, if yours are the same any amount of amperage over that will trip them.
What does a 15 amp continuous duty rating mean for a power strip?

How does an electric kettle know when the water reaches boiling point?
First, a 'Bi-metallic Strip' consisting of two different metals, having different 'Coefficients of Expansion', fused together in a two-layer strip which is connected electrically to the kettle element power supply. It is placed in a chamber, generally in the kettle handle, where steam from the top of the kettle can come into contact with the chamber holding the metal strip. (Not with the strip itself). When at room temp., the electrical contacts are closed allowing current to flow to the Element when power is switched on. When the kettle boils, steam is passed around the chamber that contains the strip, causing it to heat up. The metal having the higher 'C of E' of the two making up the bi-metal strip, will expand more than the other, causing the strip to bend and open the contacts, thus shutting off the power.
How much power can I pull through an extension cord, and how long can a chain of them be?
For some reason, UL (the group which evaluates the safety of electrical products) says that you shouldn't daisy-chain multiple power strips, and that you shouldn't plug a power strip into an extension cord. Any instructions that came with your power strip would probably tell you the same thing.
Where can I find universal power strip to charge my electronics when I travel outside the US?

What are the purposes of the indicator strip and the gas generator in the GasPak system?
This system is used to generate an environment that is anaerobic for microorganisms. The strip will let you know when the oxygen has been used up.
What benefits from being plugged into a power strip?
The Smart Strip Power Strip features advanced circuitry that not only offers excellent power surge protection and line noise filtering, but is actually able to 'sense' the flow of electrical current through the strip's control outlet. Because of this unique ability, the Smart Strip can turn off selected equipment when its not in use -- creating benefit that no other power strip on the market today can offer.

Does a power strip use any power in the off position?
If the power strip has an indicator light it uses a very minimal amount of power, especially if it's a neon or LED indicator. If the power strip uses either of those, the power use is effectively unmeasurable. Incandescent indicator lights use a very small amount of power. But in reality, indicator lights are off when the power is off, so actually power strips use no power when they are off.
