What can I do?

I built a PC a few days ago. When I plugged the PC in or turned on the power supply, the fuse in the power box suddenly blew. But then sometimes it worked again. So sometimes the fuse blew and sometimes it didn't. I think the fuse blew when I completely unplugged the PC and then plugged it back in. Can someone tell me what this means?

I did. The house in which I live is somewhat older, the fuses which are installed by the resistance somewhat more sensitive to me the technician said. That’s why they sometimes get out when I turn on the socket bar with PC udn monitors. Can be exchanged against a higher resistance, but please contact a technician/electricist.

Let me guess, this is the red one with this pusher.

This is a so-called screwdriver. Completely outdated. They react sensitively to switch-on currents. This is a fundamental problem.

Go to the next building market and buy the following:

  • 5er-Pack 10A-Diazed-II safety inserts
  • 2 matching screw caps
  • In the case of the matter, fill the stock of replacement fuses for the other fuses, if so far not present (16A Diazed II and 35A Diazed III).

Then:

  1. Turn the screwdriver (and store) completely unused in an intact installation, if part of the rental apartment, otherwise dispose of it, you never need again)
  2. Take a bought cap
  3. Place one of the purchased 10A security inserts in the cap
  4. Screw the whole solid(!) into the base where the screwdriver was in before. Yeah, it’s cracking and squeaking something normal.
  5. The remaining 4 bets are reserve. Put backups on the box so that you always have them ready to handle when one blows through
  6. The second bought cap without securing insert on the obviously unused empty pedestal on the left at the top loosely to restore the contact protection there, so that no one can grasp it and get hit. Next opportunity to clarify what it has with this empty base.

Important: Do not touch the metal thread or even in the socket when turning the fuses in and out – voltage is present.

If you don’t get the problem, there’s a problem.

Diazed fuses are carriers than these screw machines and do not react to the on current of your intact computer.

And another important thing: What color does the point of washing machine securing have? You don’t see that clearly in the picture. If this is blue (=20A), this is dangerously wrong! For circuits with sockets, a maximum of 16A (grey) is allowed. Please let this be explained quickly. Evtl. even here only a maximum of 10A (red) is allowed.

It looks as if someone had made the original three-phase (=3 fuses) stove connection to get a socket for the washing machine. This would explain both disorders and is an urgent case for an electrician!

If you need to check if the PC causes something similar when switching on.

Otherwise, simply replace the automatic fuse against a 10A fuse (if it is the nausea).

Somewhere in your PC is a heavy insulation fault.

It’s obvious that it’s not the pc…
