Led drivers brain fart

[truckster]

Am I having a brain fart?? I fitted 4no. two gang sockets fed from a 5A fuse in a shop for display lighting. The shop fitters arrived some time later and fitted a bunch of LED lights. Each driver states input as 1.2 amps and there are sixteen of them?? However each driver is only supplying about 10-16 watts of LEDS. 1.3A at 12v. so around .06A at 240V yet they are blowing a 5A fuse? Jesus I need a holiday!!

Do they switch on all together.... Inrush (High inductive)

you sure your not getting input and output mixed up? seems to me that the transformers pull 1.2 amps each

What's the Clamped current?
Or don't they stay on long enough?

Do they work with only 1 driver at a time plugged in?
Has someone also got a 110v transformer plugged into one of the sockets?

Had a couple of drivers in the past where they had labeled up the output and input wrong so could be worth checking the drivers have been installed the right way round 230 volts down the 12 volt output will certainly blow the fuse

Thanks guys, got to go back and check the input/outputs will clamp it and see.
