What fuse would you fit for an immersion heater though? It would need

No, a 3kW immersion needs no bigger fuse than a 3kW kettle.


I realise that but I just thought it would be running at the top end
of the range for extended periods whereas a kettle is only for
intermittent use. I thought some headroom would be needed but I may
be completely wrong.
