laptop surges mains

Nope, because they wont be on the same circuit.

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

Nothing like his situation.

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.

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

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

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

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

So was I, cretin.

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

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

Maybe Phil Allison has a sock-puppet ?

S*it, we agree on something ;-)

In NSW AUSTRALIA it may be 15 or 16 even 20a on a circuit of 10 amp GPOs

Just checked the "fuse" box. 10 amps for lighting and 20 amps each for the 2 power circuits. Located in Qld.

Or 25A or 32A (or even 40A) according to AS3000:2007 table C8 depending upon cable rating.

Circuit breaker is there to protect the fixed wiring from overheating, and rating is determined by cable size, cable installation method (ie temperature rise), and voltage drop considerations. The circuit breaker in the switchboard is not designed to protect the appliance connected to a socket outlet.

Nah, these are two different people.

Philthys had so many people massage his prostrate he is a socked puppet
