i have 2 fans in my birdroom wired to 3amp plugs. they both blow the fuses when switched on. the instructions say that a fcu must be fitted, can someone tell me why please. thanks

The fuse in the plug will act the same as an FCU.

What are the fans and what are their ratings. (make, model number)
What size fuse is blowing?

They should not blow a 3amp fuse. 28watts is less that 0.15 of an Amp.

You must have a wiring fault somewhere.
Does the fuse blow if you remove the connections at the fan end (insulate them before turingh the power back on?
Do you have a multimeter?

PS I guess we are talking about the fuses in the plugs?
