Are 3A plug fuses really necessary? Why not always 13A?

So are you saying I should put in a ~250ma fuse instead ?
Use your common sense.
Which would be wrong, because I as do others have to abide by the current ;-) legislation so calculating is less than half the battle.
If I wass using cvommon sense I;'d use teh lowest fuses I have which is a 1 amp, but I use management sense which means 3 amp is chosen.
BS1362 fuses are not available in 250ma,
yes I know and that's also why I said in another post ypou can;t use anit-surge
so a 3A fuse would be the best
choice.
Yep, which is NOT arrived at through a calculation which is the point.
As that's how I'd calculate it, but I'd put a 3 amp fuse in the plug as that's
what the manufactuer did.
There you go then.
yep no calculation necessary
