5 Amp Plug Fuse?............

[Strima]

Sanity check, as I've never used them.

Do 5 amp round pin plugs have internal fuses?

Not the ones I've ever seen had.

Some do some don't. MK 641 WHI does.

Nope, not usually. They are generally meant for 5 (or 6, these days) amp lighting circuits.

Are you referring to the plug top

Yes. Sorry for not being more specific.

Don't concern yourself, there's some on here who are not acquainted with such terminology.

You do get them with fuses but most don't have them. Do you really need fuses to protect the trailing cable, most of the time with a properly designed circuit even if the trailing cable becomes damaged it will still meet disconnect times.

George will be along shortly. He's busy at the minute banging on about lamp-base numbers to someone somewhere.

This is the second thing I've learned from the forums recently.
Fused round pinned plugs and what MR16 actually means!

But is the fuse located in the plug top itself or in the top (plug top) of the plug top which goes on top of the plug top ?

 

[Lucien Nunes]

MK 505 (the traditional triangular style) does not but 641 does. MK were one of the few brands who have offered the option of a fused 5A plug since forever; most did not. Note that the fuse is a BS646 type as used in shaver adaptors, not BS1362.

So, if a plug is actually a plug top and the plug top isn't the top of a plug which attaches to a plug bottom then what is a plug bottom?

You're getting confused here.
The whole thing is a plugtop, the bit that comes off the plugtop is the plugtop top and the bit with the pins on is the plugtop bottom.
Clear now?

 

[Moley]

So the plug top bottom attaches to the plug top top to form a plug top. That then plugs in to a socket top which is attached to a socket top back box. The socket top box is fitted into a wall top, but usually at the bottom so the socket top is fitted to the wall top bottom.

Am I getting the hang of this now?

About these MR16 light bulbs..........

 

[telectrix]

dunno about a plug bottom, but a bottom plug is a cure for rabid squirts following a vindaloo. the top of the range versions have a tap incorporated for future consumption.
