ANd don;t forget the FUSE is to protect the cable NOT the item of equipent so it really doesnlt matter what current rating the electric fire is, you put the fuse in that is correct for the cable.




Nonsense!

Fact.

Your view is too simplistic.

It;s the one that is used.

Any fuse value below the rating of the
cable will protect it.

So what, that wasn't thw question, not putting any fuse in would protect the cable even more.


Therefore a "univeral" cable rated at say 5amps

What's a universal cable ?

feeding an appliance rated at say 2 amps will still be protected by
using a fuse suitable for the appliance.

That wasn't the question, and you don't feed the appliance, thatr's one thing our studetns get wrong too, the appliance takes current , current doesn't get pushed into thre appliance.
