Hello,
Yesterday I bought a Masterplug Masterseries 6 socket surge protector. I plugged my lcd tv, sky-hd and panasonic dvd recorder into it and within 5 minutes it had blown and tripped the mains fuse. I flicked the mains fuse back on and the Masterplug extension was beeping. Having read up on it today I think beeping indicates it has blown the surge fuse inside it. The socket I plugged it into on the wall I think is a single socket that has been converted into a 3 way socket, could I have overloaded it?
Does anyone know if this should happen so quickly or have I bought a dodgy surge protector? Also, can I replace the surge fuse in the extension or is it ready for the bin now?
cheers
