[QUOTE="TheTallGuy, post: 6589579, member: 9121"] Our standard mains plugs (BS1363) have a fuse in them to protect the cable between the outlet & the appliance. Most socket outlets will be on either a Ring Final circuit protected by a 32A breaker, or a radial protected by a 16A or 20A breaker which is too high for lower power appliances such as radios, desk lamps & the like which are usually protected by a 3A fuse. I've lost count of the number of melted cables I have come across where a higher rated fuse has been used! [/QUOTE]
