[QUOTE="Rob Timmerman, post: 64634, member: 172"] Re: Furman Power Conditioner Issue? It's possible to get high voltage spikes if there's any inductance involved and the current is interrupted (that's what causes the arcing when you unplug certain loads hot). Now, a single spike of that magnitude shouldn't have damaged the MOVs that the Furman unit uses for protection, but that's a different discussion. The other possibility is that the breaker was a GFCI breaker, and you've got a short or significant leakage current from line to ground (either in the wiring or from a damaged MOV). [/QUOTE]
