And that is the correct way to protect the appliance if needed. Not using
the plug fuse.

In the appliance you can choose the most suitable type of fuse. Fast blow,
anti-surge, etc.

Hence there not being the same range of plug fuses as once was the case.
Most won't understand the differences. So best to make things for a single
one.
