I haven't had any trouble with the Triads in the states and have shipped a few hundred over the years.
That said, the fuse on the MiniMAX PCB will protect the secondary side of the adapter, but it won't do much for the primaries. If there's an issue with the line voltage, shorting at the outlets, etc., it may burn up whatever is used as a fuse inside the walwart. Unfortunately, many 24VAC adapters will have protection, but it's often non-resettable/non-replaceable.
Wow, I must be having a REALLY strong bout of bad luck. I bought the Enercell 18/24 AC adapter and.... it's as dead as my TRIAD!! Yeah, I suspected my VOM might be the problem but I checked with a second one with the same result: 0V out of both AC acapters
I know this is only marginally related to the thread but I had to vent somewhere.
cheers!
