I have been using a Seasonic M12II 850w SMPS/PSU for my system for the last 6-7months.
I don't exactly remember how i really overlooked this issue, but on a sudden accidental check, i found that the power cable/chord (which came stock along with the seasonic PSU/SMPS) uses a 3pin plug head that is NOT Indian type (Classic Indian 3 Round pin power plug head) but rather uses a European CEE 7/7 plugs (with 2 round pins for Positive&Negative but the 3rd bigger Round pin for Earth is missing)
You can better get the idea of the things by looking at the picture here :
//Rated as a 16amp A.C power cable)
*Comparatively different to the regular Indian 3 pin ac power cable for pc,..view them in comparison :
2)European type CEE 7/7 3Pin plug (rated at 15 amp) //R.H.S
Though,I'm using the CEE 7/7 A.C power cable with my Seasonic PSU (without any accident till yet) to power my system, but my main query here,is hoẅ compatible or safe is my system using such a power cable from the mains ?
or should I use a Normal/regular/Classical 3pin round 5Amp plug cable to power my system?
or should i get a New regular 15amp 3pin classic Indian Ac power plug cable to power my system?
//*to remind you,the stock Seasonic PSU power chord is rated at 15amp,not 5 amp !
The Rating for the aforesaid Seasonic PSU can be found below:
So, please recommend which Power cable should I use to Properly power my New System without harm?
TIA !
