I know what you mean/how it works.

Im suggesting that a power draw increase somewhere else in the house is decreasing the temporarily available power to the power bar, which could be causing the power bar's breaker to think there is too much being drawn from a presumed 15Amp circuit, and thus tripping the breaker? Electrical things do weird stuff. IE: AFCI breakers (the new style required to be installed in bedrooms) are more likely to trip than standard breakers after a power outage (according to the electrical inspectors out here), and also they tend to not be compatible with GFI sockets. It has nothing to do with the power draw from them.

Cheers,

Chris
