[QUOTE="springcrocus, post: 263564, member: 935"] One thing you might like to consider is the PFC. If this exceeds 6kA (unlikely in a domestic situation, I know) then your board may not be compliant. The individual components are all likely to be rated at 6kA but a maufacturers board generally has a 16.5kA rating due to some jiggery-pokery with type testing and the rating of the upstream fuse. Once you deviate from the manufacturers intended design, you're back to working with the rating of the worst-case item in your construction because the manufacturer will maintain that the equipment has been modified and the type-testing approval no longer applies.
