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 the appliance.

I hope you jest. But knowing you...

which you don't

we've seen enough of your statements about electronics to know where you're at with that.


So yuo must notice that I post evidence that I am right so far you've shown nothing regarding how to work out what fuse to put in a plug.
If you had any sense yuo could find out via google.

Quotes
The fuse in a plug is a safety device designed to protect the lead rather than the appliance.

Plugs for appliances rated up to about 700 watts should have a 3-amp fuse (coloured red).

Plugs for appliances rated between about 700 watts and 3000 watts (the maximum rating of a wall socket) should be fitted with a 13-amp fuse (coloured brown).


you're a hoot!
