Hi all,
Hoping someone may be able to shed some light on what might be going on based on the following results:
1. Have an appliance with universal power supply, attempting to run it on 240v mains (Australia)
2. Upon plugging into live socket (before switching on appliance), after several seconds, fuse in appliance blows and circuit breaker trips (combined MCD and RCB breaker)
3. Above has happened multiple times in a row with different units of same appliance, different sockets on different circuits and replacement fuses
Manufacturer points to oversupply or poor grounding in my mains - seems unlikely as no issues with other appliances
I point to faulty appliance - but seems unlikely as manufacturer plausibly claims that numerous units are running successfully on 240v mains elsewhere, and I've had the same issue with the original unit and a replacement.
Who do you think is right and why?
