I notice that the moulded BS 1363/A mains plug is commonly fitted with a 13 A fuse and marked 13A even a 0.75 mm2 mains cord is used. According to EN 60065, 60950-1 or 60335-1, the rated current of 0.75 mm2 cord is up to and including 6 A or 10 A under restricted conditions. In BS 1363, the maximum fuse rating states the use of uniform 13A fuse from 0.75 1.5 mm2 cord except 0.5mm2. Is there any reason behind not to use 5 or 10 A fuse with 0.75mm cord?
