    power surge

    I have a plug in my front room that I plug the tv into. Recently the tv has been playing up and not turning so I removed it and put a different one in there. Now this one has done the same. Is it possible to get a power surge through just one socket in a house as all the other tv's are fine.

    I got a request from a customer for a dedicated circuit to supply his hi-fi system. All very top end stuff but, as far as I can tell, nothing special in terms of power requirement. I'd calculated 20A would be plenty, and so could be cabled in 2.5mm2 as a radial. At the end of the circuit...
