Octane2 power.

Octane2 power.
I got this Octane2 that, every time I turn it on, trips down the power breaker. I have to reset the breaker once or twice than the Octane starts up. 
I didn’t use it much, but while use it I didn't noticed any other problem once is started up.
Any idea what could be the reason for this behavior?

RE: Octane2 power.
Do you have ARC or GFI fuse panel breakers? Many new homes or new panels do, assuming for a moment you don't have an actual PSU problem, I remember that somewhere on the PSU label it says something about this supply has ground leakage. So if you have a new outlet or breaker that has this monitoring...you might trip it just due to ground leakage monitoring along. Try to confirm this and try an older outlet perhaps on a circuit where renovation hasn't occurred?

I don't run new breakers so I can't definitely say if it's a real PSU issue or an oversensitivity on the monitoring your circuit breaker might have if, it has special features.

RE: Octane2 power.
I think you are right. I just put a long extension cable from basement to my SGI hideout (upstairs bedroom) and the Octane booted without problems.

Thank you very much Weblacky.
