I just purchased an corsair 750W power supply, and the input is mentioned as 90-264V 10A, Now on the plug that connects to wall socket to power it says 13A 250V (UK Pin) Now i am using it in asia, using an simple adapter but inorder to plug other things like speakers and screen i am buying an surge protector (spike guard).Now at what Amp shall i buy spike guard ? Rated 15A or 10A - As this is what available in my country. PS: The fuse power on the inbuilt fuse on the power plug is 13A. Also inform if i buy a 15A Spike guard and the usage say is only 10A is their a con like, smoking the pc components incase of sum overcurrent?
Buy a surge protector that can handle more current draw than you expect to use. The surge protector limits the voltage from the line, in the event of a lightning strike nearby. If you have a faulty load (computer?) that tries to draw too much current, the fuse in your computer (plug) should pop. If the load says 10A, and the surge protector delivers 10A max, you've got no room to add another peripheral.
It is always ok if you have more Amps then needed. If you go under of what the devices needs then it will simply burn.
