Hi,
Just a technical note: None of the fuses actually went off, it was just the FIs, but three different FIs. This indicates that it's not a problem with underpowered circuits, but actually return current on ground.
yes, that's why i point my finger on a malfunctioning device... However, i was not there when this happened yesterday and 3 different FIs is indeed strange, however, it occured the first time afaik?
well, it ocurred to me when setting up the new wiring in the kitchen that the ground wiring is not at all alignable to the alternate current wiring. The FI iirc depend on isolated ground wirings belonging to "their" circuit to sense residual current. Hence the wiring is a bit fucked up in regards to ground/FI functioning but imho NOT in regards to safety (one can notice that with three FIs dropping instead of just one ...) Regarding the matter in the kitchen, i also believe in a malfunctioning device. We have two UPS now, we could hook it up tonite and tomorrow we could test the wiring to align the power outlets to the fuses/FIs. Then i could get my stepfather to have a look at it (certified electrician with the municipality), but only after everything we can do is done. cheers, Philip -- a alphabetically be in organised sentence should words. fight censorship: HD-DVD processing key = 09f911029d74e35bd84156c5635688c0
