my pch c200 is fitted with a 5amp fuse so i would buy a uk 3 pin kettle plug
as they used to be called pc plug

Just to be clear the 5amp fuse is within the pch200 unit itself, the back panel next to the switch?

no 5amp is in the plug

It's actually on a 3pin USA cable, plugged into a UK adapter.

what type of adapter? do you have a link to it? generally there are 2 types, 1 is voltage changing and the other is just a outlet converter. if it was cheap, it's not voltage changing.

Just a cheap outlet adapter, but it shouldn't need to be voltage changing given the rating to 240v on the PSU.

Walk into a small local shop and get a Desktop PC power cable. Then plug that into the back of the C200. That'll get rid of any adapter or USA cable worries and only cost around £2.

There's no selector for 110/240 on the back of the C200 is there? I'll check on mine when I get home.

No, the PSU is auto-ranging and doesn't need the fuse changed between the US and UK. If it did the UK would use a fuse half the current rating of the US one since the current draw will be half.

I've used the same C200s in both the UK and US without problem so you've got a failed power supply, I'd suggest.

After giving it a try with slow blow fuses to no avail I changed the PSU and had success. Thanks for the input.
