In December 2012, there was a power outage mostly due to blowing fuse at the fuse box. For those that don’t deal with that much, older fuses will trip because the connectors are worn out. Also on a 20amp fuse you should not go over 60% output, so 14amp would be safe. You can replace with new fuse, to minimize this problem, and of course buying a uninterrupted power supply (ups) would mitigate the system turning off and on while we figure out why the fuse is being tripped.<\/p>\n
