I wasn't aware that converters had built in circuit breakers. heck i haven't seen that in electronics since the '80s. most electronics today instead have 'sacrificial' electronic circuits that when they blow, they blow the entire works, forcing a replacement or expensive repair shipment to the manufacturer (why do you think retail stores ask you if you want the 2 year replacement plan? heck most electronics should last a lot longer than 2 years)

i think the post was a person who had a circuit breaker trip inside their house. possibly a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet. if such an outlet exists anywhere in my home, i immediately change it out for a regular one since they trip for no reason, even without load. it takes my living room with it too. if such an outlet exists in your home, it will have a tiny red 'reset' and a black 'test' button. i think that was the breaker referred to.
