Discuss Replacing a 13A plug fuse with solid brass in the Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
Not a manufacturers item for sure, but looks safe enough if well clipped in making a sound electrical connection. And to regs if the plug is after an FCU. Nicer to have a purpose made product.
To avoid an uncessessary inaccesible fuse behind.Why would you need a solid link in the plug of an integrated appliance? Besides you don't buy solid links you just cut the head off an m6 screw/bolt, everyone knows that.
I have the feeling BS 1363 is not BS 1363 once a solid link is pressed in, as the fusing is removed.Anyone got a copy of BS1363 and can look up solid links?
Which Regs?The regs we all have to conform to.
Therefore not permitted for use as it no longer complies. Case close.I have the feeling BS 1363 is not BS 1363 once a solid link is pressed in, as the fusing is removed.

It's not inaccessible, it's behind the appliance.To avoid an uncessessary inaccesible fuse behind.
Why is the appliance, which comes with and is therefore designed to have, blowing 13a fuses in the plug top in the first place?To avoid an uncessessary inaccesible fuse behind.
Yes, many do know that. But a purpose made item is better.

Company is still in business somehow.....Oh indeed. Must dig my 1970s hifi mags out sometime
Why in the absolute tosh does anyone care? Plug the thing in and go live your life.Say behind a fixed integrated washing machine. It is not going to be plugged into anywhere else. The best is a 15A round pin and shuttered socket behind the washing machine. The problem is awkward manufacturers wanting to side step their warrantee obligations, otherise a 15A round pin is the best choice, which cannot be plugged into anything else.
The question was, where are these solid links available?
It eliminates an hidden and uncessary fuse, when one is there on an FCU.Which Regs?
Can you explain the benefits of a solid link.

If you're that bothered about fuses randomly blowing, wire it into a flex outlet plateIt eliminates an hidden and uncessary fuse, when one is there on an FCU.
So which Regs are you referring to I ask again.It eliminates an hidden and uncessary fuse, when one is there on an FCU.
Utter toshIt eliminates an hidden and uncessary fuse, when one is there on an FCU.
The common response. Some fuses just fail. Not a lot, but it does happen. Best have fues easily accessible - which is common sense.Why is the appliance, which comes with and is therefore designed to have, blowing 13a fuses in the plug top in the first place?
I never mentioned a reg there.So which Regs are you referring to.
