Well yesteday I was doing a photo shoot and something went wrong with outlets in my house, i checked my breakers, my gfi's etc and everything works fine...

Pat had a euro turntable (Mk1200) plugged into the outlet with the converter for US outlets on it and everything worked fine for a bit until the lights went out...

All of the outlets are dead...

I am wondering if anyone has a testing tool that I can borrow and check my outlets around the house and hopefully hunt down a short or figure out if my switch box might have killed the breaker and I have to get a new one...

Thanks in advance guise.

I have an outlet tester if you need it. Sounds to me like one of the outlets in the chain went dead and needs to be replaced. Is it just one feed from breaker that's dead?

I would shit my pants repeatedly if the issue was the euro mk2.

The converter on it is made for euro/asian/american electrical appliances to be swapped about...

My guess is just simply the shear number of power we had running from that single outlet.

aka Mixer, 2 turntables > surge protector > a 2nd surge protector, which had two lighting lamps, and various other instruments that I can't remember > into extension cord into one outlet > old house's electrical wiring that couldn't run a dryer unless new wiring was put in, yknow?

Dontchu blame the euro table :P

Yeah, and I run all that regularly, never had a single issue of recharging or misfires or anything like that....
