So I run 2 XLR-cables from my Ultra to the DCM, and four banana-plugs from the DCM to my cab(jack). Before connecting the amp to the cab I wanted to make sure the DCM was working properly so it wouldn't blow my speakers or damage something else. I have never used a power amp before, so i find it a bit scary with the DCM being quite powerful. I've read online that I would have no problem testing my SS poweramp without resistance, but the second I switch it to the "ON" position the circuit breaker activates. (It cuts the power to everything in the room.) So I turn off some other things in the room(to check if the poweramp just isn't getting enough power) and reset the circuit breaker. The same happens again. This makes me even more nervous about trying it with the cab. I tested the power cord on the Axe, but it worked just fine. I read in the manual that the DCM1540L has a 15A fuse. My power cord is 10A 250V.
Any thoughts?
This is my first post, but I've been lurking around here for quite a while. Just got my Ultra on Tuesday and I've tried it through normal speakers without a power amp. Sounds awesome so far!
Edit:
I just noticed that the cable I'm using is smaller than the one than came with the DCM (I have to use another one since I ordered it from the US and I live in Europe.)

Should i just replace the US adapter with a Norwegian one(Using the same cable)? Would that solve the problem?
