Hiiiiipaparts said:What happens when I replcae my computers power supply of 230W with a 400W power supply?
It will creat problemNigel Goodwin said:No it's fine, it will make no difference.

It is for protection.
So for 400W supply fuse will be designed to protect that SMPS.
And for 250W supply fuse will be designed to protect 250W SMPS. Now if your system is consuming 230W. U are using 250W SMPS, And if something goes wrong into PC, it will start consuming more than 250W. So here PC will load on SMPS and fuse is the only thing which has to protect SMPS. So it must blow.
Now tell me if supply is good enough to provide 400W, though PC needs only 230W normally, and if somethig goes wrong, PC starts consuming more than 250W, what your 400W SMPS will do??? It will provide 250W, beacasue it is designed for 400W. And in this case your PC must not be provided 250W. Otherwise it will burnout.
And still you don't believe do one thing Apply 300W load on 250W SMPS. And start SMPS see what happens.
And aply 300W load to 400W SMPS and see what happens. and tell me what blows...
And here this is not the case of experience here this is case of logic.
I know better that if my load is 230W, than an 800W SMPS will obveously drive it. But It is like, to load 2Kg wait your are using A train
Here on one side u r saying same as i am and u r agreeing to Mr Nigelsurvivingbrain said:Agree to Nigel!!
The fuse IN the power supply is to protect the power supply.
The fuse IN the system (or whatever load) is to protect the system.
Say, a fuse in the system is rated for 3A. it will blow off at 3A, irrespective of the wattage of the power supply!! be it a 400 W or a 1000W!!!
Say, a fuse in the power supply is fixed at 10A. It will blow off (or trip) when the load (in our case, the system) starts to consume more than 10A!!(as a result of any short circuit or whatever!!)
Yes Sir you r right Siraudioguru said:When an overload occurs the transistors immediately blow and short. Then a while later (1 or 2 seconds) the fuse blows.
