PSU for SE & SE/30 trips breaker on 240VAC?

[JDW]

I received a question from a YouTube viewer about his recapped PSU for the SE & SE/30. He said that he tried to test the output voltages in the NO LOAD condition (disconnected from the Mac), and it trips his breaker every time he flips on the power switch. He said when the PSU is connected to the motherboard though, it doesn't trip the breaker at all.

I don't live in a 240VAC country but some of you folks do. Do any of you have experience testing a PSU in the NO LOAD condition? Is it the same for you?

That's not good - plenty of SE power ups that didn't trip the electrics... Something tells me that the inrush current limiter is maybe faulty?
