Replacing a 13A plug fuse with solid brass

[littlespark]

If you’re cutting the plug off anyway, may as well fit a flex connection plate instead of socket.
No fuse, no soft plug to socket connection… no overheating

The 13A fused plug was designed for safety, and anything less requires other considerations such as a switched fuse above the worktop rather than a 20A dp.
If fuse links were ever available for plugs in the past, there will a very good reason they are not available now.

To think any domestic socket is inaccessible is poppycock.

It’s adding extra work changing the plug, changing the socket to match. Can still suffer from not gripping the pins and overheating.



Edit. Just getting this post in quick before the inevitable.

Just tell the self centred thought police to keep away. If I do not like a thread I do not go on telling the mod to close it down. I am not that stupid or self centred like that.

I agree, I don't think you are stupid. Pig headed maybe. Misguided maybe. Slightly annoying possibly.

It's frustrating really, because I do think you have some knowledge of electrics. But as they say, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

See what you did there. Thread closed.
