The correct fuse to use in an English plug is a crucial aspect of electrical safety. The fuse helps to protect the wiring of the plug and the appliance it is connected to by breaking the circuit if the current exceeds a safe level. Choosing the correct fuse for your appliance is important to ensure that it functions correctly and safely.
The correct size of a fuse is one that is equal to, or the next size up from the appliance rating, where the details can often be found out on the labels or stamped onto the appliance.
By using a smaller rated fuse this may cause, nuisance, tripping, and continuous replacement fuses.
A piece of equipment with a 6 amp rating, should actually have a 13 amp fuse, you cannot install a 3 amp fuse.
By changing the fuse size for a smaller one in your piece of equipment will not cause the equipment to use less electricity.
So, for example, if you had a 13 amp kettle with a 3 amp fuse on it, it will still need that 13amps.
The 3amp fuse will “BLOW” as soon as it is switched on
WATTS tell you how much power an appliance has – i.e. how much work it can do.
AMPS tell you what size fuse you need.
Watts are the “product of the Voltage and the Current (amps)
If we take the voltage away from the watts, we are left with the amps.

Your electrician Philip was punctual, friendly and very efficient. Would certainly use you again and recommend your company.
I was very pleased with the prompt and efficient service. The electrician phoned in advance to confirm his time of arrival and was friendly and polite.
Karen and her team of "Bright Sparks" are wonderful to deal with and needless to say know their negatives from their positives with just a dash of earth . I would recommend their services to anybody.
We are very pleased with Phillip’s work. You’ve truly gone above and beyond to deliver what we had in mind for our front porch.
Thank you very much, and please pass on my thanks to Philip who completed the job. I appreciate it was an awkward space for him to work on, but everything was done so well and so quickly - I am very happy with the outcome! Will be returning to you for more jobs soon I’m sure!
