My  fuse is an electromagnetic trip fuse. Whenever I switch on my analog  
office copier the fuse blows. This means that I have to switch off all  
printers, several computers (except the one on a UPS) in order to be able  to 
switch the fuse back on and then try to hit a zero crossing in the  voltage 
to 
the copier (mind you, this is easier than in the US, because we  have only 50 
Hz). Then, after a few attempts I can switch life in the  office back on, 
item 
by item. This quickly became intolerable, and I took  a 100' extension cord, 
a 
hefty grade, to supply the copier. Obviously I  did not want a tremendous 
voltage drop during normal operation, so I had  to use heavy gauge. While the 
resistance is low, the impedance of the  coiled up extension cord is 
sufficient to smear the inrush current  transient, and everybody is happy.




Brilliant!
