Default is it legal for a UK 13A mains plug to _not_ have a fuse? dodgy camera battery charger?

Solution? Turn up a solid brass 'fuse' in the lathe and insert it into
the 13A plug. No more blown fuses after that!


I've seen that done on Hifi equipment as well, for reasons of improved
sound quality (takes cover...)

Making sure that you use a proper audiophile mains plug of course, a
mere 108 quid!:-

I can't see the point in making an investment like that only to plug
it into raw mains electricity coming through polluted copper cables. I
say rip out your house wiring and replace it all the way back to the
substation with gold plated oxygen free silver.
