Hi there
Im having to post this here as the general DIY section is locked for posting.
Ive got an issue with relays dying in two different makes of remote controlled adapters and one remote controlled wall socket.
The first was a single socket remote controlled adapter which plugged into a standard dual socket outlet.
From that ran a 4-way extension lead, which had a computer (1000w PSU), LED monitor, and printer connected to it.
After 2 weeks the device would stay constantly on and would make a click noise when you tried to turn it off. Turned it off and tried it in another socket and it didn't work in that either.
Took it back to B&Q and exchanged it for a 4 way remote controlled plug, again the relay in this went after a few weeks. Same dual socket outlet. I bought 2x this time, another is still fully functioning after 3 months of use but in a different socket in the house. Other one has a TV, speakers, PC (500w PSU), and PS3 plugged in.
3rd one I bought was a Siemens dual socket wall outlet replacement, guess what, 5 days later it goes.
Has anyone had any experience with these remote controlled adapters/sockets? What could be causing the relays to go in them? It's a modern 2 bed flat apartment.
Thanks in advance.
