Hi.

My first post here.

I have a set of 3+, used but from a dealer. When I switch on the power on the wall, sometimes one of the groups in my HPFI relay ("LYS 2 - MAX 10A" - see picture, BAD means not bad, but light in the bathroom) switches off.

There is a TV, an iMac, and a Lyngdorf amp and these speakers all are connected to the wall. Earlier on I had active speakers too, so the cabling and everything are 100% the same, only the speakers have changed.

The TV, iMac and Lyngdorf amp are on standby when this happens. So it is only the speakers that draw the big current.
When everything is turned on all is working well. And not every time this happens.

Any good advice?

Hi kk, Since the towers (and your system) seem to play fine - after all the equipment is powered up, it seems like the problem is limited to the initial powering up of the towers at the same time.

This may not be the most eloquent solution, but if the fuse only blows when both towers power up at the same time, you might try manually plugging one tower into the AC outlet after the other tower has already turned on. This way, both towers are not powering up at the same time. (Maybe, you could plug one tower into an easily accessible switched power strip.) Happy Listening!

Yes, thanks I am doing that right now (unplugging the power cable), but too tedious. So I ordered a Softstarter, I will post it here if it helps. People write that it helped with a.o. subs and big amps using too much start-up power: www.amazon.de/dp/B003BIEQIU/ref=pe_27091...87027711_TE_SCE_dp_1

Hi kk, Seems like a good solution. Please keep us posted on the outcome.

I installed the Unitec start-up limiter and Inrush current limiter yesterday. Until now no problem with start-up hiccups.

Hi kk, It's always good to solve a problem without spending much money. Happy Listening!
