Regulation 433.3.1

Can someone explain this regulation to me. Is this why we don’t fuse 16amp plug sockets?

    I am not so sure that the plugtop fuse provides overload protection. I would have thought it was there to provide the lead with fault protection. Hence the reason a 0.75mm2 flex can be supplied directly from a 20A PD when it’s Iz is only around 6A. 


    Agreed. I lost my train of thought part way through and had to come back to the reply - apologies.


    The appliance rating itself counts instead of the overload protection.
