Fake Fuses.

Could a fake 13 Amp. plug fuse really blow off the top of a 13 Amp plug

  • Why did intersafe not use an image of fake BS1362 fuses? None of the fuses shown would appear to fit in a BS1362A plug.

    I am not against Intersafe highlighting the issue, but an image of fake BS1362 fuses would at least help identify them.

    Their first bullet point 
    • The most important thing to notice is the diameter of the fuse wire in the unknown brand, it is significantly wider than the genuine 5 amp and of an unknown rating


    I have never seen a glass bodied B£1362 fuse, so how do you check the fuse wire diameter?
