Sailcappy has verified the mains voltage at the dedicated branch circuit receptacle is 118V using a true RMS meter. That is only one volt above what the manufacture recommends for the amp.

That is only one volt above what the manufacture recommends for the amp.
Should say,
That is only one volt above the minimum line voltage the manufacture recommends.
From the Cary 7.250 specs, (AC Power Requirements 117/234 Volts AC @ 50/60 Hz)
Also after rereading my last long winded post I am not sure I made clear what I was trying to get at.....
That a SMPS will draw more current if the line voltage sags to try and maintain output power of the PS.
So, Is it possible the voltage drop from 118V to 112V is enough to cause the SMPS to draw more current to compensate for the drop in line voltage?
End result the 15 amp magnetic breaker ampere rating is exceeded, breaker trips open.
