I need to replace the cable flex on my Henry/Numatic hoover. I can't find any lettering to identify the old cable but by comparing the conductor size to a bit of 3core 1mm² i've got, it look to be the same, just 2 cores not 3. However the motor is rated at 1000w, max 1200w (from the data plate sticker) and the plug is fitted with a 13A fuse. Surely 1mm cable which is rated for 10a (2440w) max should have a 10a fuse? Can I use 0.75mm² as this is rated upto 6 amps (1440w) max which is below the power of the motor, and fit a 5a fuse?
