Hi,
I recently bought a Seasonic SSR-650RT S12G series PSU for my PC.

The PSU is working very well, but the input power cord which it came with does not contain a grounding pin in its plug (CEE 7/7 plug).

I am currently using a lower quality 3 pin plug power cord I had lying around with the PSU. I can use the Seasonic cord too but as you probably guessed, there would be no grounding connections this way.

Is there any way I could have a grounding connection with the Seasonic cord?

Thanks.

In other words, you have a 7/7 plug for the PSU but a non-standard/illegal wall plug. Most likely the PSU was made for a country other than yours. If you have a proper plug that goes from your country's plug type to standard PC plug, then use that.


This is the plug I have:

and these:

are the sockets I have at my home.

I would like to have a grounding connection. Is it possible or will I have to buy another power cable?

(Sorry for the large image sizes; I dont know how to make them smaller)
