is it legal for a UK 13A mains plug to _not_ have a fuse? dodgy camera battery charger?

Is there any other sort? It's inrush currents to big fat transformers that mostly do it.

Mind you, my deskside CD player at the moment is 1.5kW of PA rig and a pair of stage monitors - a home-brew PA amp that's on soak test for a while, so it's up in the study. There's no way I'm turning it up to 11 though!

Pure joy! Thanks for that.

Interesting, although when they talked about the charger supplied for use in the US and even then the pins were bent, it's actually a charger for Australia and the pins are exactly as they are meant to be.

Our college disco amp only needed 200W per channel. Why would I need

3kW in my house? (though of course the consumption will be a lot more than the output)
