[QUOTE="Kip Conner, post: 5480, member: 445"] Here's a new one, for me. I don't use a lot of power conditioning in my system, only where there is rack gear or consoles. Amps go straight into the wall power. Last saturday I was doing an outdoor show on a golf course driving range that was closed to all vehicle traffic. A member went out of his way to drive his cart down to see what we were doing and drove over my snake and power cables going to FOH before we could put down any cover. While the weight of the cart wasn't enough to damage the two whirlwind snakes or the heavy SJO cable, there was another power cable that was running to FOH that had the console on it and rack on it. He spun the tires and created a small tear in the jacket of this power cable tripping the breaker on the spider box. We pulled a new power and the breaker kept tripping. We went direct to the gear around the furman and the breaker stopped tripping. It took several quad boxes to get all the power we needed back at FOH. Today I pulled the rack out and the Furman appears to be working fine. I plugged a fan into it to put it under load and it's not tripping the 20A wall circuit. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
