Yes, but what's wrong with the existing supply? Why change?
Weight reduction.
There's nothing wrong (yet, I haven't tested the PSU).
We have a 'ring circuit', fused at 30A. A
cable that starts from the fuse
box, loops round every outlet, and back to the fuse box. There is no
limit to the number of sockets on a ring, but there is a maximum area
that it can cover.
Our fuses are 10A or 16A by default, although they can be
replaced
by 20A fuses when requested from the power company. Cable diameter is
2.5mm^2, massive core. A normal circuit lasts 3.5KW, and when using
20A fuses it's 4.4KW. Our plugs are not fused by themselfs.
Since in my hobby room I have 2 sockets on the same fuse, I may just
need to either upgrade the fuse in the switchbox, or lay an extra
cable with it's own fuse.
