Replacing a 13A plug fuse with solid brass

[John-SJW]

I read once, never seen one for sale, that there is a solid brass replacement for the standard 13A fuse in a 13A plug. This is to eliminate the fusing in the plug, which is handy when having a heavy appliance plugged in behind itself, like under worktops which are isolated and fused by an FCU.

Anyone know where they are available, if they are?

On a dedicated radial with its own MCB and say a 20A isolator switch a washing machine can have a 15A fuseless round pin socket and plug. That is fine, but many manufacturers say that if you remove the 13A moulded plug the guarantee is void. This would never hold up court if an appliance is connected to regulation being sound and safe, but it is avoiding the hassle factor from these irresponsible makers.

It's not inaccessible, it's behind the appliance.

Trolling I see.

Now back to the prime point of the thread. Do you know where these solid links are available?

I answered that. The regs we all go by.

No sir, precision turned brass.
made by a uk manufacturer.

I'd buy some John. They will do what you require. Problem solved. No need for any more posts right?

There are many of them, if you could list one it might help.
I assume by your lack of response that you don’t know what regulations apply in this case?

There might be a reason they are so hard to come by.

 

[John-SJW]

Have you thought about looking at this from a different perspective, rather than fixating on one particular 'solution'?

Will you suggest another solution.
A 15A round pin is suitale but it us the shark makers warrantees that is the problem

 

[freddo]

Trolling I see.

Why would you ever need to access such a fuse? if it has blown the appliance is faulty and will need to be pulled out to repair it anyway, at which point the fuse becomes accessible...

So which Regs.

Doesn't even make sense. And you are just avoiding the questions asked.

 

[John-SJW]

You are on some sort of wind up! Or have you been on the weekend tipple?
