Shredder overload protection replacement

[angellonewolf]

How to replace this it's a overload switch if I want to buy a 100 if them there 23 cents from America but I'm thinking this I a bit over the top

So looking for a safe replacement idea and cheap would be great as well

Would a 10A one do the job?

There's no markings so hoping some one on here the unit is 2800 watt 2800 / 240 is near 12 amps thinking that would be low ?

@angellonewolf
If you calculate it at 230v it's just over 12a, so depends on how high your voltage is, I would think it's 13a so that it allows for voltage differences.

i got a choise of 10 amp to low i think and 15 amp seams about right circuit protection

and thanks for any replys by the way

or have found a 13 amp but thermal

the 12 amp would be a bit close to the operating amp takes 11.66 amps at 240v but i assume there is a bit of + and -

is there a differance between the magnetic overload or just better quality

im thinking about giving the 12 amp ebay for £2 if does not work can just bin it but the £6 not to bad but have to go out my way to go and get it as well
