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

If by 'management sense' you mean common sense, then we're arguing about

precisely nothing :-)


Now we're talking about what you'r told to do by the regulations or managment that's in charge of your job, it is that simple.

Years ago we were told to check all plugs and replace any fuses that were wrong with the correct fuse whether it was 3, 5 10 13 amp.
Now wee not suppoosed to replace fuses where you need to open the plug up and if you do so you need teh aplince PAT'd before it cane be re-used .

So NO common sense is NOT the correct method.
