    Replacing a 13A plug fuse with solid brass

    I recapped that a few times in the thread. People do not read the whole thread just the last couple of posts. But you might have noticed this in my last post: "And to keep a 13A plug from overheating around the fuse in a continuous 13A current draw." This was used on a tumble dryer. Moulded a...

    Replacing a 13A plug fuse with solid brass

    You can still use BS 546 style round pin fuseless plugs and sockets according to BS7671. These are 2A, 5A and 15A, as long as the socket is shuttered. 15A round pin fuseless plugs are not allowed directly on final ring circuits only square pin 13A fused. See: BS7671. section: 433.1.204. BS...

    Replacing a 13A plug fuse with solid brass

    The solid links were available. I came to see if anyone had still come across them. I know there is no need for them as 15A fuseless round pin plugs are available. But those manufacturers (mainly from China) again...

    Replacing a 13A plug fuse with solid brass

    In ye olden dayes, and now, many thought 15A round pin fuseless plugs were illegal (15A round pin fused plugs are available being legal only on radials or spur radials off a final ring). 15A are legal. So they put solid links in 13A plugs in ye olden dayes. Now we know 15A round pin plugs are...

    Replacing a 13A plug fuse with solid brass

    There is nothing saying you cannot make your own solid link.

    Replacing a 13A plug fuse with solid brass

    Some instructions do state various specifics. My oven instructions does not, just connected by a competent electrician and the likes. In the latter there are no problems from the makers when making a guarantee claim.

    Replacing a 13A plug fuse with solid brass

    I have come across 13A solid links, and knew guys who used them. Not seen one for years, hence this thread. They may not be available any longer as the demand is not there. Nothing in any reg say they are illegal. Solid links are available for many applications. The link simple converts a...

    Replacing a 13A plug fuse with solid brass

    So to bottom line. No one here has ever come across a solid 13A link, I have, or knows where to buy one. 15A fuseless plug can be fitted behind an appliance in inaccessible locations as long as an accessible FCU isolator is fitted.

    It was just a general comment.

    Replacing a 13A plug fuse with solid brass

    Complete nonsense. That is the same as saying "nobody in their right mind would fit 15A fuseless plug behind an appliance." A solid link converts a 13A plug into a fuseless plug - not difficult to grasp. Guess what? Fuseless plugs are legal. ;)

    Replacing a 13A plug fuse with solid brass

    People here have written that an appliance say under a worktop should have a plug in an adjacent cupboard. Of course a good way. If the accesible cupboard is many cupboards away, with the appliance lead not reaching, then an FCU and 15A socket/plug behind the appliance is the best way around it...

    I have not had one yet, as no one knows if the solid links are still available.

    Do you know if they are still available or guessing?

    Replacing a 13A plug fuse with solid brass

    If the manufacturer is fine on cutting off the moulded plug, then a 15A round in an inaccessible location is the way to go, as long as there is an accessible FCU. Many servicemen are told by the manufacturers that the appliance must be 100% isolated to work on it - that is remove a plug - not...

    Replacing a 13A plug fuse with solid brass

    Yes, to keep the moulded plug. But a solid link in a moulded plug only gives one fuse on an accessible FCU. No, the solid links are not available any longer? If the manufacturer is OK with cutting off the moulded plug, then a 15A round pin is the way to go.
