RE: That makes sense...

I think you missed the point i was trying to make.

Kenster is correct at the intial current drawn by each component is higher when each device is powered up separatly. But the combined current delivered to each component when they are all swiched on and the powerstation switch is thrown is some what limited by the powerstation unit itself, hence each component is not able to draw the full inital current surge from it, so the current to the devices is not as high at this intail stage. The actual current surge can be many times the the running current (depending on the individual devices power supply's design).

But I agree at $25 a punt they are not worth it imo.

btw
fast blow fuses are in the 10-50msec range
slow blows are about 250-500ms.
fuseology is a bit of science in itself using different materials ranging from nickel, mild steel, tungstun steel to bronze,brass and copper,silver and gold and there alloys. So the chances are that each has a different sound on different equipment. (not that my toaster seems to care:).
