Where can I get 2-3m one of these?

What is "correctly protected" though?

The C5 connector is intended for use all over the world. In Australia you can plug a regular domestic plug into a 32A socket. I haven't read Australian wiring regulations but I would presume they allow a 32A socket to be protected by at least a 32A breaker.

So it would appear to me that the designer of equipment with a C5 inlet, has to assume they may be facing upstream current protection of 32A and maybe higher.

Sorry, are we in Australia?

No but, as I have said, the physics is the same and chauvinism has no effect on it.

Accessories are not more likely to melt because a British person says something.

Thanks for your help. I'll order one and put a 3amp fuse in it.

That should keep everyone happy

Kind Regards, John

Take the fuse out of the old one (which may not be 3 amps if LG think otherwise).
I have found 3 amp fuses sometimes blow on switch on surge on TVs.

I can't argue with your experiences, but that sounds pretty astonishing (unless you had duff fuses) - it takes at least 5A (1.15 kW at 230V) to blow a 3A BS1362 fuse.
