I am using Corsair CMPSU-600CXV2UK 600 Watts PSU. My first problem is that PSU came with Euro three pin plug and i am not getting a good convertor for that from the market.
second one is it has 15 amps plug so i am not able to use it in my Spike guard as it is of 6 AMP rating. every time i switch it on it gets my MCB(6amp) to trip down and i m afraid that this may harm my PSU in long term.
what should i do to avoid the trip should i change the MCB with 20 amps capacity or suggest me what to do????????
plz save my newly build machine.

thanks in advance.

to fix the PSUs power plug use a Belkin spike guard and do check the earthing of your house.
