You can also get fused 15A plugs but the British Standard only permits a maximum 5A fuse, solid link time?

You can still use BS 546 style round pin fuseless plugs and sockets according to BS7671. These are 2A, 5A and 15A, as long as the socket is shuttered.You can also get fused 15A plugs but the British Standard only permits a maximum 5A fuse, solid link time?
I recapped that a few times in the thread. People do not read the whole thread just the last couple of posts.Perhaps you might explain the reasoning behind wanting to explore this particular line of thinking, given the infrequent occurrence of blown appliance fuses? It seems as though many respondents, myself included, struggle to comprehend the problem you're seeking to overcome.
Because he clearly buys cheap crap faulty appliances ?Why would an appliance have a continuous 13A draw.
Tumble dryers do. Especially with large families when it could be on for hours and hours on end with continuous loads one after the other.Why would an appliance have a continuous 13A draw.
That doesn't look like a fuse issue as both pins have suffered thermal damage.I recapped that a few times in the thread. People do not read the whole thread just the last couple of posts.
But you might have noticed this in my last post:
"And to keep a 13A plug from overheating around the fuse in a continuous 13A current draw."
This was used on a tumble dryer. Moulded a well. This rarely happens using 15A round pin.
