A 3000 Watts heater typically uses a 13 Amp fuse in its socket. 13 Amps is an accepted fuse rating because it can allow high power usage but will be secure enough to cut out any over-voltage that can damage an item.

How do you size a fuse?

The fuse protects the cable it is feeding therefore in UK upto 10A for 1.0mm cable, upto 15A for 1.5mm cable and upto 20A for 2.5mm cable. This is for installation type (solid core copper) cable not flex. In the UK and the rest of the EU (230V) 1 Kw load = 4A so 5A fuse should be OK. 2KW = 8A, 3KW = 12A so use 13A Fuse.
