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

..and then the fuse breaks.


Only if the fuse is of a lower rating than the cable.
you might fidn a 3 amp cable gets hot before the 13 amp fuse blows.


Why you shoud pout in the correct fuse.

Some fit larger rated fuses because of surge.



Which is wrong.


No it isn;t .


IT IS dope! The fuse should never be great than the cable. If you have
surge get an anti-surge fuse.

A while ago I brought some 20mm 32ma slow-blow for a piece of
euipment.


Good you are catching on.


Yep I know what I'm doing


I know you do. You deliberately make electrical systems unsafe. You are
some sort of pychopath.
