The fuse blows whenever the current passes through it over its capacity, which protects the appliance from overcharge of electricity.

The fuse is classified at 13 amps, as shown on the top of the plug. this is the maximum amount of current that the plug can pass without causing damage to the appliance or overheating the socket. When replacing fuses, it is crucial to select the same amperage rating that was used in the original.

It is also recommended to check that the fuse is fully seated in the cartridge, and that there is no excessive movement. The next step is to prepare the flex that will be used. The first step is to remove the sheathing from the flex in order to expose the three insulated conductors within. Then, nick the sheathing at the entry point to the plug (beyond the cord grip) using a utility knife, without piercing the individual conductors that are insulated. The nick should be wide enough to allow the cable and sheathing to separate as the sheathing is pulled back. Cut off the excess sheathing, leaving around 40mm beyond the flex.

This flex is placed over the plug, with the earth terminal at the top, and the neutral and live terminals at the bottom. The sheathing on each pin is removed using the coloured conductors as a guide. The internal cable is then fixed to the terminal by using the cord grip. If the plug has an screw-type clamp for cords loosen it and pull back the insulation to expose the copper conductors. Connect each insulated wire to the correct terminal using the channel in the plug. Begin with the earth conductor first, then the neutral and then the live.

What is the maximum draw of a 13amp plug?

The maximum current draw for an 13amp plug is 3kw at 230volts.

There are cheaper plastic or glass alternatives but they should never be used with a live plug, or else you could blow the fuse and potentially be electrocuted!

The majority of dual fuel range cookers sold in the UK need to be hard-wired and cannot be plugged directly into an outlet on the wall. They are usually connected via a dedicated cooker circuit, which is suitable only for appliances that can handle up to 20 amps.
