Fuse in a spur

[ban-all-sheds]

So sorry, stillp - I hadn't realised that when you wrote all those things about appliances being too small to be able to contain a fuse you didn't think they were true.

Dunno why you're rolling your eyes - I haven't fabricated anything - you really did write these:

Some of the small products I was involved with simply didn't have the space inside for a fuse that could break the prospective fault current

No, they were too small to contain a suitable protective device.

What about products that are designed to fulfill a task that requires them to be a certain size or they cannot be used?

Seriously - how was I supposed to know that you didn't also think them?

Do you know of a regulatory reason why the manufacturer may not specify a fuse smaller in rating than the circuit fuse, or don't you?

Why ask me? I've never suggested that there is.

Please don't say that your question was a pathetic attempt to distract people from the fact that you banged on and on about accessories being too small to contain fuses when you didn't think it was true.

Because I'd thought you might be able to answer the question I asked back in post #27.

I didn't answer that question you asked back in post #27. It wasn't addressed to me:

should know what an external fuse is for and it is NOT to protect the boiler or its ancillary components. It is to protect the cable.

That's often said, by various people, but can you (or anyone) back it up with a regulation or other authoritative statement?

I have never suggested that there is, and I do not see what relevance that has.
