Thomas, first of all: do you use the right fuses for the PSU2 frames ? The peak current during power on is a bit different for normal transformers (as used in the old power supply with 650mA) and for ring core/toroid transformers. This initial current is higher for the ring core/

Please look if the right fuse is used (www.doepfer.com > FAQ), e.g. 500 mA for PSU2 and 115V. In every case a time lag fuse has to be used. As the specified values are very "conservative" you may even use the next higher fuse value (e.g. 600 or 700mA) without problems as in case

ok maybe i'm talking nonsense, but if there is an A112 module in this 6U case, maybe there is a battery leakage inside the A112 that causes a short-circuit to happen? that may explain the fact that this fuse-blowing did not happen before...also, with a PSU2 it seems highly unlike
