Far more common to find the existing blown fuse wrapped in aluminium foil.


Well in some 2000-odd PAT tests I've never met that one, how often have you
come across it?

David.


I used to see it a couple or three times a year back when I repaired
group gear, often on HT fuses in valve amplifiers, and back when 20mm
fuses started to become common in equipment, but not common in toolboxes.

I think David was specifically talking about the BS1362 fuses found in
BS1363 plugs. The special (and varied) fuses in the HT amp.s and similar
are less likely to match anything to hand (i. e. another appliance's
plug).
