    Thr cover doesn’t complete the circuit, it just prevents debris getting into the socket. An extension cord doesn’t have a cover on the female end and it is completely safe, just like an outlet in a bathroom or a surge protector.

      Ok but an extension chord isnt on a TREE. If the breaker trips or the fuse blows the tree is already on fire.
