"If not, what would be a good solution other than plugging the unit in and out?" Overheating is a fire hazard eliminated by a fuse or circuit breaker which limits current to a safe value. The power circuits in your house may be protected with 15-amp breakers. The wiring is then safely chosen to carry 15 amps with no danger that the wires will overheat. 15 amps in your wall wart may set it on fire with no help from your load-center. This can be prevented with a fuse or breaker on the wall wart by itself which limits the current to less than it takes to set the device on fire. Best regards, Richard Harrison, KB5WZI |
