    Zoomup:

    A visual example of an overloaded or poor quality 13 Amp adaptor showing serious overheating signs. Details at the end of the video.

    Any comments on the new plug fuse?

    In the video I was concerned that I could not see any approval markings on the "250 Volt" 13 Amp fuse in the new plug. It may have been hidden on the dark side of the fuse perhaps. I like to see B.S. 1362, the ASTA symbol and the British Standard kite mark as well. Copy fuses may just contain a length of paper clip and not be safe.
