  • 3A? What 700W bulb are they going to have?

    I've been sticking 1A in any lamps recently. Even a hefty low energy bulb is only 20W which will be under 0.1A

    3A and 13A are the only recognised fuses for 13A plugs. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    1A and 5A do exist but aren't, 'technically' compliant.

    With what? There are plenty of people[1] selling what they describe as BS1362 1A and 5A fuses. Is that an outdated standard? I don't have a copy of BS1362 to see what it says.

    One of the things I miss about access to a university library is availability of standards documents.
