What?
I think you've got the wrong end of the stick. If an appliance has a
3A fuse, it means it draws less than 3A, could be 0.001A. I've got a
TV, amplifier, CD player, DVD player, various other boxes of musical
orign, 2 STB's and a Quattro switcher. I haven't got it to 3A yet.

If I add a PC I still won't be anywhere near 13A.

You need to check the actual rating of all the appliances you have
plugged in, not the fuse sizes.

Oh well apologies to the aforementioned poster! I was told to check the fuse
by a maplin attendant! It was a bird tho, so maybe that's why.... har har,
just kidding ladies...

I don't know how to check the 'amps' of the appliances, the back labels say
nothing relevant!

I have a freeview box, a small portable television, a video recorder, a
printer, 19inch computer monitor, high spec PC (medium wattage im guessing)
an amplifier, a light, and a wireless router. All ten sockets are used up...
i'd guess 13amps are well used up?
