So i have multiple "groups" in the house for my electricity.

When i turn everything off and switch it back on, i will have 1 group which flips off straight away. When i push it ups again (to turn it on again) quickly it stays on.

Basicly i have a too high "peak" current which turns it off. I know i should change the power distribution evenly so that i wont have this issue but its a weird installation.

Instead, do you guys know about a simple device i can put in between a power outlet so that it takes say 10/20 seconds before it will go on, thus releaving the "peak" current?

A Circle!

Ghe, now that you mention it.. then i would actually have a solution to the problem + added benefit of monitoring the usage.

I think there is a good chance i'll go that way (seeing i already have a bunch of circle's in the house)

Delay in the new firmware is about 1 second.

even 1 second would be enough if thats the delay..

I think that could work
Whats all on the group
You could try rearrange some outlets?

I think it's Eriks 19" rack with some servers, a lot of TB storage, NAS, etc etc

The funny part is, that is on a seperate group, so that aint it. But it seems all hallway, meter cabinet, my work pc room and the livingroom (meaning hifi equipment too) is all on 1 group.
Thats a lot of adapters.. i am hoping to change the livingroom on a different group, but switching of a lot of stuff is pretty hard when my gf is around because then nothing works hehe

U could install a "slow" c group that can handle the spike.

I could change the fuse and such and change it to be able to work with the spike, but that also comes with hazzards, what if i electricute myself and it doesn't go off? (yes that happens sometimes, but not so much anymore)

At least i got the kicthen and all appliances on a different group. But i think that even my WTW (warmte terug win) device is on the group of my living room and such.. (but should also not be that much)

Do you have a Earthleak (aardlek schakelaar), then it's no problem to change it to a C group, I have several groups changed to C, because heavy machines don't start on a B group, (like a steel cutting shaw).

Several times I electricute myself, but always the earthleak jumps of. I only feel a twinkle.

i'll have a look at that sollution too then. Because if the house looses power and it comes back, i dont want some groups to be off.. (i think it doesn't but you never know, since upcoming power can handle more then current i believe)
