 		 #185033 - Standard for PC PSU
Responding to: ???'s previous message
PC PSU and very many industrial PSU do have shutdown mechanics so as Michael notes, a crowbar need not imply a blown fuse requiring service.

I don't see a problem with equipment using crowbars as protection. I do see problems with power supplies that does not support overload protection.
