Hello all
I was wondering if anyone could help me understand why our toaster came with a 0.75 sq mm flexible cable with 13A BS1362 fuse on the plug.
In class we've learnt that the rating of a protective device has to be lower than the current carrying capacity of the cable it protects.
But when I looked at Table 4F3 in the Wiring Regs it seems the current carrying capacity for this sort of cable is 3A, well less than 13A.
The cable is marked:
KENIC * <VDE> KEMA-KUR <8VE> CEBEC +S+S+S IEMMEQU S D N F1 NF-USE 1327 KELC-75 N15075 H03VVF 3G 0.75mm2 300/300V RS
(Bold bits in little circles)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
