With some 4 way leads made from Chinesium, its becoming quite common
for them to be supplied that way (i.e. with 10A fuse pre-fitted),
since it has been demonstrated many do not fare well when subjected
to a moderate overload on a 13A fuse (e.g. a continuous load of 18A
or so).


It does rather prove the point. No-one with any sense would load up an
extension lead to 18 amps. They would likely be the same person who
would replace a 2 amp fuse in a plug top with a 13 amp one - because
after all it gets it working again, the only important thing?


So welding is something else you also don't understand. Yawn.


Only the likes of you would use a stock 13 amp to 13 amp extension lead
with a large welder on full belt. Perhaps you should Google voltage drop.
