I've got a 10-socket surge protector plugged into a two-socket faceplate and I'm finding that when a few devices are plugged into it, I am flipping the switch on the fuse box, which is rated at 32A.

Now I know the problem is caused by the devices plugged into this socket as I can unplug them all and the problem goes away.

What I've got plugged into the 10-socket surge protector, when the switch is flipped:

  • 85W Apple MacBook Pro charger (charging laptop)
  • JBL Creature III speakers
  • TP-LINK router
  • USB hub
  • WD Hard Drive

I've also got a powerline adaptor plugged into the other socket on the two-socket faceplate.

Is this enough to flip the switch. Has anyone got any ideas what I can do?
