Wondering if Dieter or anyone can help with this one:
I've had 3 G6 racks for a couple of months. None of them have been problematic until
yesterday, when one of them blew a fuse. I replaced the fuse, and everything worked
again, until today, when the fuse blew again. I removed most of the modules, and the fuse
blew. I removed all of the modules, and a fuse blew. I then tested one of the other cases
by turning it on a few times, and eventually one of those blew too. I have tried different
surge protectors, different cables, different electrical circuits in my apartment -- same
thing.
It would seem that this would indicate either 1) some major problem with my building's
electricity (possibly but unlikely), or 2) two G6 power supplies that went defective at
exactly the same time (possibly but unlikely).
Any thoughts If it is some crazy problem with New York city's electrical grid, I would
imagine the Doepfer racks wouldn't be the only things susceptible. But the fact that two
different boxes, tested with all different numbers of modules (none, a few, a bunch, and a
lot) kept blowing seems downright weird.
I am using 1/2 amp slow-blow fuses, and tested the outlets in the apartment, which are
all running pretty close to 115v (~117, ~120, etc.).
Is there something completely stupid and obvious that I'm missing
Thanks anyone for any help.
