Hello. Today first time something tripped breaker in my house. I mean i was sitting on Windows 10 desktop ,like always and i hear BUM from fuse box. And power go down. Pc turned off.
I have that pc almost 1 year and something like that never happened. I think there was not circuit overload,because all devices was off,like tv,washer etc. Only pc was on. And nothing get damaged. Anybody have clue why it happened?

To turn back power again i change breaker to up of course. And its fine again.

PC:
Aorus AD27QD
AORUS PRO Z390-PRO GAMING
Aorus 2080 Ti waterforce stock
2x16GB DDR4 GSKILL XMP
9700K STOCK
Seasonic TX-750W TITANIUM PLUS PRIME


Never happened with that pc in whole year. Also pc is stable during full load etc.
Today i just browsing internet and power goes down with tripped breaker.
Pc working like before again. Weird any clues?

Then.......i go to bathroom and saw that one of 3 led bulbs no lightning. So it get burned. So that was propably that halogen bulb?

Pc:
9900K 5ghz ( llc level 5 idle 1.34-1.35v,load 1.313-323v)
2x16GB DDR4 GSKILL 3000mhz

    Re: Can damaged LED bulb trip breaker? 2020/08/29 14:39:44 (permalink)
    An LED bulb is not a halogen bulb.

    If the LED bulb power regulator burnt out (rather common), yes, it could trip the circuit breaker.

    LED bulbs often die because the power regulators burn out, not because the LEDs themselves burnt out. In order to be competitive, LED bulbs usually use very inexpensive power regulator circuitry which is often barely sufficient. After a while, the heat and degradation takes its toll, and the voltage regulator circuitry in the base of the LED bulb burns up. It is very plausible for the circuit breaker to trip as a result.

    BTW, don't forget that I am suspicious of you because you are the person who goes by Litwicki on other forums and have been banned in the past for being a troll on some of those forums. At least one of your accounts was banned on this forum too (due to you using multiple accounts on this website which is not allowed by this website's terms of service). Also, I am aware that you tend the ask the same question over and over again, and tend to act somewhat paranoid. Don't play your games with me. If you have any further questions or concerns, just Google it, and then put your mind at ease.

    Move on with your life and don't think any more about it.

    Pc was on idle and monitor was on. Other devices like tv,washer off. So not circuit overload. 2 weeks ago something tripped 2 small circuit breakers . All electricity lights and sockets went down .Then.......i go to bathroom and saw that one of 3 halogen bulbs no lightning. So one bulb get burned.

    What tripped breaker? Halogen Bulb or Seasonic psu of my pc?

    Your Seasonic PSU is not an EVGA PSU. This is the wrong section for discussing Seasonic PSUs.
    You have already created a thread in the correct section. There is no need to repeat the discussion here.
    I have asked the moderators to lock this topic.

    Unexplained electric issues should be checked by a qualified person
     
    We have no idea what or why you had the circuit trip your breaker - "one time"
