Hello all,
Well this is my 1st post here, I hope somebody can help me out.
My SMPS(300 watt) is connected to the wall power plug socket via a tripper switch. 2 days back I saw that the tripper is tripping immediately when I switch on the SMPS.
I tried by disconnecting the tripper switch from the circuit. But then the CPU refuses to power up.
I took out the SMPS and connected to my friends PC and it works perfectly. However the plug point at his place supports a 450watt SMPS(his regular SMPS)
Does that mean that after prolonged usage my SMPS has started consuming much more power than 300watt(due to reduction in efficiency) and therefore it is triggering the tripper switch?
Or could it be something else? The earthing in that plug point is 100% OK.
Also how to check if that plug point has the capacity to support a 600 watt SMPS in future, when I upgrade my PC?
Please share your knowledge.
Regards.
