The point about a ring and fused plugs is that they can suffer more
abuse
than radials and still be safe.

How is protecting a 3A rated appliance at 30A more safe when some
idiot wraps a bit of wire around the blown fuse?...


The death rate in the UK by elecrical systems is very low.


More by education than circuit design, the fact that appliances now
come pre fitted with plugs and the correct fuse I suspect.
