laptop surges mains

[felix_unger]

That's 2400Watts, so not very likely..

He mentioned aircon running, so it's possible. Used to happen here with
the heater going, and then turning on the jug or microwave, until I got
the another feed for one of the powerpoints.

 

[Rod Speed]

Apart from what other causes have been mentioned, that could also be the
case.

VERY unlikely.

When you plugged in the laptop it caused the current in the power circuit
to exceed 10amps, due to other appliances in use, causing the circuit
breaker to trip

VERY unlikely that they are both on the same circuit and the breaker
wont be a 10A breaker either, and it wont trip immediately with a
current that’s just a little over its rated trip current anyway.

 

[Rod Speed]

He mentioned aircon running, so it's possible.

Nope, because they wont be on the same circuit.

Used to happen here with the heater going, and then turning on the jug or
microwave,

Those last two are a lot higher current devices than a laptop charger
and there are **** all aircons that are legally on the same circuit as
GPOs anyway.

until I got the another feed for one of the powerpoints.

Nothing like his situation.

I've had 4 that do, and none that don't. HP/Compaq and Toshiba Not all the
time, just when running on power when battery is low.


geoff

Got two Toshibas that run their power supplies hot when running AND
charging. One is a humble old L300 with a 2 GHz Celeron, the other is a
Qosmio with 2 HDDs and a Core 2 Duo processor. I have developed a habit
of suspending the power supply brick so that it is entirely surrounded
by air flow. That keeps it noticeably cooler tha if it's laying on the
table or the floor.

 

[Rod Speed]

OK. For some odd reason I'm telling fibs.

Nope, just wildly exaggerating with
that mindlessly silly 'roasting hot' claim.

Yep, I've been hallucinating.

**** you too arsehole.

Wota stunning line in rational argument you have there, child.

At the top, you claimed they get 'roasting hot' whether they are
recharging the battery or not. Then later when you get called on
that utterly mindless silly shit, you then claim that they only get
'roasting hot' when charging the battery.

Like I said, you can't even manage a consistent
line in mindless bullshit on that particular claim.

 

[Rod Speed]

Naa, you are imagining it. The guy on speed tells us such.

Everyone can see for themselves that you are lying to your teeth now.

Yes it will if the aircon is on the power circuit

and it wont trip immediately with a
current that’s just a little over its rated trip current anyway.

Good to see that you have made the move from the bedroom to the lounge. Much
more comfortable during the daylight hours. Favorite chair, wireless KB &
mouse, now for the slave to bring food & grog???

most probably a laptop. else how could he see the screen?

42" HD TV

Nope, because the charger takes **** all more power.

You get more variation with the compressor coming on and off.

Never did compute from the bedroom. Don’t even read there anymore.

Much more comfortable during the daylight hours.

And even non daylight hours for computing and reading.

Already got that with the food, the kids I just taught to drive.

Nope, still use the desktop for everything except listening
to mostly RN programs when bottling the beer.

Two much bigger screens than any laptop has, stupid.

Well he must have good eyesight if he can see the printing on a 42"
screen from another room.

I'm not stupid for not knowing what equipment you have, but you're rude
and obnoxious. that's well established.

I was talking about the circuit breaker, stupid. (to use your
terminology) It *will* be a 10amp breaker if the aircon is on a normal
domestic power circuit

You never could bullshit your way out of a wet paper bag, stupid.

So was I, cretin.

Wrong, as always. Normal domestic power circuits have 15A breakers, you pig
ignorant clown.

You are braver than I, always left that to SWMBO.

Seems that you're a 'pig ignorant clown' also then (as well as rude and
obnoxious) since I just checked the PB and they're 20a
