I have come across a laptop without a fuse in the plug and I want to know which is the correct fuse to enter into the plug?

The attached is what is shown on the laptop AC/DC adapter.

For confirmation (and peace of mind) I am looking at the INPUT values and I see 100-240V 1.5A 50-60Hz

Is it OK (and safe) to place a 3 amp fuse in this plug for the AC/DC adapter?

UK 13amp plug used.

Hi James

Many thanks for the confirmation of the fuse to use. I just wanted to make sure (from a safety point of view)
