The manufacturer specifies a 3A fuse.
Perhaps their overseas customers are satisfied with a lower level of protection than is expected in the UK?
It's not really down to the customers, is it? It's not the customer's who make the rules in Britain or anywhere else.
Perhaps I should have said that overseas societies are satisfied with a lower level of protection than is accepted in the UK. As I've stated previously, I was once told by one of the engineers responsible for the design of the UK ring final system, the original brief for the Working Group was to design the safest final distribution system in the world.
To provide closer protection to the appliances that are connected to that installation.
I'm not sure where my statistics on the subject are - probably in the attic, where they'll stay until a paying client wants me to find them - but ISTR that the UK had a far lower incidence of reported fires of electrical origin than any other developed country. And yes, I know that the cause of fires is not always determined precisely so the absolute accuracy of those statistics is doubtful, but I would expect the inaccuracies to be similar in other countries, so the figures are comparable.
Complain to them, not here.
No idea. Ask them.
Installing equipment in the way described by the manufacturer is not a mistake.
