    Overcurrent in circuits

    Evening all...just a quick question. A customer was using a wallpaper stripper on a ring circuit, smoke started coming out of the back of the socket before the 32amp breaker tripped, what I don't understand is why the 13amp fuse in the plug didn't break? Could someone tell me why? Thanks
