Is a 13A fuse adequate to protect a 2.5mm2 cable against overload?
You say a thin bit of fusewire will hold well in excess of thirty amps for a while. What about a bit of 2.5mm copper? To say a 13A fuse will hold thirty amps for a period long enough to damage a 2.5mm cable is a crazy statement.remember though,a 13a fuse will hold well in excess of 30 amps for a given time.
but for all practicle purposes we are accepted to believe that a 13a fuse will protect a 2.5mm cable without any more specific facts.
You've missed the irony I'm afraid!No one is arguing a 13A fuse will protect a 2.5mm cable. If this poll is supposed to be can a fuse in a plug protect a installed cable then it has been badly written as thats not what it asks at all. This is a pointless poll.
YOUR ASKING FOR A SMACK ON THE NOSE!!! bad day explodebad day explodeYou've missed the irony I'm afraid!The point of the very deliberate wording of this poll was to show how pointless the poll started by Badger was (the one which you endorsed so enthusiastically).
Your poll regarding fuse plugs to protect radials is also pointless for the same reason - I assume you also are being ironic?
And then some.YOUR ASKING FOR A SMACK ON THE NOSE!!! bad day explodebad day explode
