..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.

Yes exactly you put the correct fuse in not the 'calculated' value.



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.


yes I know the plug fuse is to protect the cable.


If you have

surge get an anti-surge fuse.

You can't buy anti-surge fuses for standard 3 pin plugs.


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.

How would putting the correct fuse in make electrical systems unsafe ?
(unless the equipment was faulty or failed anyrequired test)
