I started having an discussion with my NICEIC assessor about correct fuses in appliances, telling him that the previous PAT tester did not replace the plug fuses to match that of the rating of the appliance. He said that it was OK and that many electricians do not understand how PAT testing is correctly done. I got on my computer and showed him a previous thread whereas the replies about the fuses was to replace them or place a fail sticker on it. One suggested to even cut the plug off. His response was that I needed to be careful with forums, as most j people debate who is right. Anyway he said that the fuse in the plug is more to do with the lead and not the appliance itself. He said that the appliance has its own protection. I think he was trying to imply that of a class 2 and others have built in protection. Then he started pulling out all these documents on his Ipad and got on my computers internet to show he was right, he was getting serious about it and stressed that I was researching on forums, he even sent me some email links that are BS standards. So has anybody else been told this about plug fuses.
