The one in the foreground is just what all those people with "continental" ovens have been looking for!

"Fuses can be mixed brands such as Bussman, Marbo,
Atlas etc. But will always be to the british standard."

Does that 15 Amp fuse even comply to BS1362

After all BS is short for British Standard, and not sure why we would have a 15 amp plug top fuse when we don't have BS1363 plug's rated to 15 amps.

Of course not!

Would they be needing the 16A one, which is presumably just off the bottom of the photo?

Kind Regards, John

I'm sure the manufacturer would print 16A on them if you asked.

Quote: "5.3.2 ...The rated current may be any value not exceeding 13A"

 

[stillp]

The concept of "rated current" has little relevance to counterfeit fuses. Some have been found with no sand inside, some with the element not soldered to the end caps, and many with the wrong thickness of element.

 

[DetlefSchmitz]

I was simply answering the question about the standard. Not making any sort of statement.

 

[JohnW2]

So who's going to buy some and try putting some current though them?!

Kind Regards, John

I've just ordered some 15A ones for my welder

Genuine Bussmann by Eaton

of course.

Looks like a bit of fuse wire sticking out of the end cap as if it is pushed together
