Hi guys, I have got an issue with my power cables.I have moved houses and the power cords of my monitor and PSU got mixed up.I have got a Benq XL2420T and 850W power supply both have similar power cords (H05VV-F UK standard). Both are 10A 250V.However in one of the power cords plug it says ~5/250 (on the other end which you connect with the device it says 10 A and 250 V).I do not understand what ~5/250 means.Does it mean it draws less current? In that case should I use that one on my monitor? (I assumed that a PSU draws more current than a monitor) I have a GTX 680 and I do not want to overdraw the PSU and damage it.Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

I am not for sure, but i believe (if electrical school taught me anything) that that ~5/250 is equal to or less then that current.
