OT I'll be brief! The fuse in the plug follows the principal that you have a fuse when you go to a smaller section of cable, of course people abuse, put in oversize fuses, pieces of wire and Al foil but that happens in fuse boxes as well! Bear in mind, this system was developed for 32amp ring mains, ie. the power points were on a 32 amp fuse that is connected to a loop rather than a single line the cable section was something like 4square mm (from my memory of what the cable looks like), the fuse limited the socket to 13amps. It is a very good system from an electrical point of view, but, it is more open to abuse! Regards, Matthew |
