I came across these power supplies
http://www.circuitspecialists.com/level.itml/icOid/8518
They look good except for one problem the inrush is 20A
Will that be enough to trip a 15A breaker? Or is it quick enough not to be an issue?
While I am at it I have two other questions.
Has any one else used these power supplies?
If it says it pulls 150Watt 12V/12.5A does that mean it will always pull 12.5A or only if its powering 150W will it pull 12.5A? Basically if I only use 75W of the available 150W am I wasting power?
