Forgive me but when I read "Burning Sensation" that stopped me in my tracks. The source of the "burning sensation (odor?)" has to be identified and dealt with. Things do not emit smoke and remained undamaged. Sniff the converter. If the converter does not smell funny, try the circuit breaker panel.
I try and remember the most golden of electrical rules...
Wire and appliances do not have to trip a breaker before they can start a general fire in the woodwork. I have seen many fires start in properly protected 15-amp circuits.
