OCz 500 Watt Power Supply and Ever Strip causing House Fuses to Blow - Possible Causes?

Ok, questions of SEP nature - do you have a two-wire PEN or three-wire installation with a separate PE wire at home?

I have no idea, the electrical installation is rather new, because the block is several years old.

Every is probably the most expensive, in addition, the manufacturer at least boasts that the devices connected to the strips are automatically insured for the amount of 5,000 :)

I have no idea what the nicer slats are, I'd love to buy it, but what?

I have that problem too.
There were no problems in the old apartment, the fuses of the old type 16A, so-called automatic, were installed. In the current apartment I have fast fuses and when the strip is turned on, the 10A fuse blows and it does not matter if there is a strip or not.
In my case, the charging time of the capacitors in the power supply is long enough for the fuse to work, soon I will change to a slow-acting type C to have peace of mind.

That's exactly it. The most common fuse popping problem.

Only in the bathroom section, leave it immediately (so that there would be no health and safety trap)

I know that the topic is from a few years ago, but in google it still pops up as the first result for the query "the strip breaks traffic jams", so probably many people come here


I also had a problem with the power strip that knocks out the plugs, only the computer, monitors, speakers and a lamp were connected to the power strip, also at first I suspected the power strip, later a computer power supply or a faulty electrical installation in the apartment


But it seems to me that I already know the reasons, the new list did not change anything, the new computer power supply did not either

I decided to measure with the meter what current is consumed when switching on the power strip and it turned out that for a fraction of a second the current reaches almost 11A, the fuses are 10A, so no wonder that sometimes they were blown

I also read somewhere that it is normal for power supplies to draw a lot of current at the beginning

The solution that I use now is simply, in addition to the strip at night, I also turn off the power supply with a "switch" on the back of the housing, and in the morning I turn on the strip, and after a while only the computer power supply and the problem is gone
