Best Answer

The amperage output on an adapter is the rating applied by the design manufacturer. Connecting a load that draws more that the design limit of the adapter will damage the adapter. As long as your connected load stays under the adapters rating there is no problem.

Can i use dishwasher and washing machine on multiple plug?

If you only have one wall socket where the washing machine and dishwasher are, then you could plug in a multi-plug adaptor, into which both appliances could then be plugged in. There are also multi sockets in a strip with a single plug on a short cable available. For instance, in my outhouse, I have a dryer and a washing machine that are plugged into a three way adaptor. The adaptor is then plugged into a RCD, or residual current device. Finally, the RCD is plugged into the single wall socket.
