    Huge amp spike

    Had this happen last night and was wondering if anyone else has seen this? Was also not able to access fusion during the time

    If I unplug my EB8 from the wall and the bus is still powering the computer within the EB8 I will get a similar reading.

    Im guessing it's my heater doing it. If you look at the temp graph it happened right when the heater turned on.

    A heater will not cause a 52 amp spike.

    An incredibly high spike like that is probably because the EB8 lost AC input power for a short time although the Apex stayed running due to being powered by some other part of the Apex system.
    Please do not send me PMs with technical questions or requesting assistance - use the forums for Apex help. PM me ONLY if the matter is of a private or personal nature. Thanks.

    This is correct, my "Apex Head Unit" is powered via an AC Adapter plugged into an UPS.

    When I get a power outage but the head unit is still powered up. I see what appears to be a large Amp spike.

    Wouldn't be concerned about it.

    Cheers.
