Default Overload an electrical outlet?



"Phil Allison"

"Dave Platt"


At a guess, the external load may have dragged down the voltage at the
outlet far enough that the computer power supply's "line undervoltage"
circuit kicked in, and shut down the computer cleanly.


** Absolute ********.

Have you no idea of the source impedance at a domestic AC outlet ?

A load that dropped the voltage by more than 10% would trip the breaker
first.


A demonstration of arrogance and stupicity in a single sentence -
quite typical for you.



** It is a completely true statement.

( snip pile of irrelevant bull****)


What is more, you ignore the realities of the typical (or even
premium) 'Made in China' power supply. They are often rated for an
input voltage from 100 to 240 volts. If you believe that is
rigorously tested, I have some Arizona oceanfront land to sell you.



** Whatever, they will not drop out with only a 10% loss of line voltage.

You ****ing bull**** artist.
