What is the rating of the fuse which is most commonly fitted to three pin plugs?
Answer for UK, Europe and countries running a 50 Hz supply service.The easiest way to check is to remove the plug from the wall socket, and open it. The rating will be written on the fuse and is given in Amps. Sometimes devices come with a molded plug top (no screws, can't be opened), however there will be a slot on the underside of the plug which allows you to take the fuse out.The Amp rating of a fuse in a plug is an electrical safety standard.When a fuse burns out (blows) it is usually due to an electrical fault in the device, which should be fixed before replacing the fuse.You should never replace a blown fuse with a fuse of a different Amp rating, either higher or lower.In the UK and Ireland, plug tops should always come with a fuse with a rating that suits the appliance it is attached to.Generally these ratings will be either3 amps - for small things like lamps5 amps - Also for small things.10amps - no example13amps for bigger things like the Vacuum cleaner.13 amps is the highest rating a 3 pin plug should have.As always, if in doubt, contact a registered electrician.
