First post-
That's fair warning to the folks on that forum.
"I'm also thinking about buying a surge arrester but I don't see many 230V options"
That's because of the country you live in, dummy.
"I would use a single throw 2 pole breaker with a 20A outlet."
I found "throw" puzzling here. Some research and incredibly fast and helpful answers from two people in customer service at The Pacer Group informs me that with circuit breakers, "throw" is not used as it's used with a relay or switch.
It has to do with how many sticks come out of the breaker. A single throw breaker has one lever for turning it on and off. A double throw breaker has two levers. That is, it's two single throw breakers, each on a different phase, tied together so that when one is tripped electrically, the other is tripped mechanically so that neither leg is left live.
My guess is, he's young and hasn't seen much audio equipment or hasn't paid attention to what ANYTHING uses for line voltage.
Jeez, I hope it's that.
Where was this?
