:sad:
sounds like connections in the branch circuit maybe?
I couldn't say for sure. But it sounds like you have some.
some things to consider,, for everyone really
If the plug from the equipment doesn't stay tight in the
outlet there will be some resistance at that point. (a slowing of the electron flow)
If there are other points in the branch circuit that have loose connections, (in the wall outlet boxes for switches and outlets)this is another point of resistance.
if there are enough of them,
then things like, the voltage , and Hz cycles will not be correct.
I see this alot , being an electrician,
most of the time the loads placed on a bad wiring job
won't show themselves for years and years.
Simply because the loads haven't been sufficient to cause the bad joint to fail, or the equipment to fail.
But all it takes is one time and this is exactly what you will have
From an electrician who has seen this Too many times, Please have it checked out. And make sure you have a good ground or Earth as it is refered to in the UK in place.
How it works........
the Load (pull, /or current) stays the same,
regardless of the the voltage (the push) present.......
If the transformer isn't getting the push , it doesn't matter......
the (Load) will pull current even at the sacrifice of voltage ..yes even more voltage drop
...snowballing,,,,,
........Working harder and hotter, melting the very thin insulation on the windings of the transformer and causing a dead short.
<<< BTW that dead short or overload should have tripped the breaker switch or blown the fuse>>>>
and .... almost done
If the primary side of the transformer isn't getting the voltage in needs to.
the secondary will also have a drop thus the board will be under powered and poor performance will be the result.
a 15 percent drop is critical and will in time cause failure
to equipment. some equipment ,will burn up faster that use capacitors and micro processors
and this all works at the speed of light so when it goes.....
it's frekin going. you ain't gonna jump out of it's way.
or turn the switch back off again
fast enough.you know ....... some time ago, someone had posted a problem here . and I was explaining this to them
I think one person had found, what I had been tying to convey.
well, I hope the cost to fix what you need to, are minimal
