Thanks for the responses.
Yeah, I already figured that the home fuse of that group has a fast
action. I planned to swap the automatic fuse with either a slow-blow
standard fuse, or an automatic fuse with slower switch off time.
But I just never got to do that ... and now the garage so so filled
with goodies that I would have to move a lot of stuff just to get
the wall plug picked up. My wife calls it junk, but that's just a
matter of perspective.
One day I will do the home fuse swap experiment ... I can not believe
the VAX has suffered from the journey from the old house to the new
house. I rolled it just 5 meters, into the truck using a hydraulic
tailgate lift, and after a trip of 30 km (driving at sensible speed)
unloaded and rolled another 5 meters. I can not believe that the
wiring in the VAX is that bad, that really minor "shocks" will cause
some full short circuit condition.
Waiting for better times, then I will get the VAX running again!
