How many people do you know who just fit a 13A fuse to every plug regardless of the load ?
There has been various attempts to make different sized fuses for different ratings so an incorrectly rated fuse cannot be fitted.

here u go hese going to flog it to some sap on ebaygo and unplug it from your bathroom![]()
It's not that much of a problem. The same equipment is sold in mainland europe with an unfused 16A plug on a 16A radial cct.The problem is plugs usually come with 13A fuses fitted. Perhaps a selection of different fuses should be supplied with the plug and none fitted.
just put 2 double sockets in your office and plug 4 short good quality 6 gang extension leads in and it will give u 24 outlets and u cant overload them as there's only a 13 amp fuse in the plug. and there made for the job nothing personal against anyone but I think there's some stupidity and lack of mentality going on in the postsYep, Ban them. Lethal things!!
Ban cars too. Abs, crush zones, airbags, they can do what they like with em, but it don't stop people killing themselves and others with em. So nobody should have them. They're just not safe .
Off now to rip out the bookshelves in my office to make room for 20 wal mounted double sockets so I can plug in all the computer and hifi kit at the same time (safely)
Forgive me. I'm feeling cantankerous
I bet u use them at home and don't let onjust to add a point that i havnt seen mentioned, there are some adaptors you cant overload as they
have a fuse fitted

Agreed, but rather than banning anything I feel the public should be educated on how to use these things safely. Even with a fuse in the adaptor some people will still abuse it.What I was getting at was that in the wrong hands anything is dangerous.
And it is wrong that these adapters are available without fuses to protect the unwary. But some of us can put enough common sense into the equation to use anything from a shotgun to a 3way adapter without endangering folks.

And target shooting, pest control and game shooting! Damage and suffering are caused when an idiot is holding the gun.Except that the former has only one use, which is to cause damage and suffering. Block adapters only cause harm by use in excess of their design.
