Theshold T800D throws circuit breaker.


Wonder if anyone has as this problem with Theshold amps.
Sometimes, upon turning on amp the breaker trips. If you've
had problem, what had to be fixed?

Amps are often tested using inductive circuits, which limit the inrush current. The inrush current can actually be larger when they are plugged into a low-inductance high-voltage dedicated circuits. B&K's have been known to do this. They blow fuses a lot. It is nothing to be concerned about. You should probably put the amp on a 20-amp circuit. You probably have dedicated wiring for this don't you? Another solution is to put inrush limiters or a relay and a power resistor in the amp. This is more typical of high-power amps.
