Or the big Blue oneIs that the big Red Plug Top
Is that because you are a ships master?I just knew someone would bring up the mass debaters line!
No. It is a plug for a bath (you would need to quote the size in mm).
It is a plug for an electrical device (you will need to quote the size 5A, 15A, 13A etc and the fuse value if the latter).
So E.G. I need a 35mm plug for my bath, preferably white.
OR. I need a 13A plug with a 5A fuse for my table lamp.
Me too but some Electricians aren't very bright.I'd always fit a 3 amp fuse for a table lamp.
what about the lamps/bulbs along the circuit, not at the end? don't they require protection also?With incandescent lights a 3 amp fuse will often blow when the bulb fails, a 5amp one won't.
But the fuse is to protect the cable not the lamp on the end of it.
As you say: some Electricians aren't very bright.
both at the same time? piggybacked? and what fuses do you fit in plug bottomsOnly ever use 13a and 5a fuses in plug tops
what about the lamps/bulbs along the circuit, not at the end? don't they require protection also?
Some electricians are not very bright, are they?
And how many table lamps actually use old GLS filament lamps these days, very few I'd suggest. All the table lamp manufacturers who fit 3 amp fuses during manufacture can't be very bright either I suppose ?
