Hi!

 

When plugging in my PSU to the wall socket, it trips pretty often, about 60% of the time. After its tripped I can turn the breaker back on, and I can successfully boot to my system without any further incident. 

 

This has been happening for over a year, and I have since moved to another place, but it still trips. The breaker in my previous house was 230v 16a,  but it still trips. That breaker also had ground fault protection. The PSU is only rated for 750w, and the breaker should not trip before the load is at least 3600w.

Thanks :3

@lucasodev,

 

Welcome to our HP community forum!

 

You are absolutely correct: the power tripping shouldn't happen at all.  The fact that it does, would suggest to me that there is something very wrong with your 750-watt power supply, at least from my perspective/anecdotal experience.

 

Kind Regards,
