I'd guess there's an internal fault. ;) I'd also say that if you're using it in the house, and you have a plug fitted with a 13A fuse, well you can all do the maths. ;) ;)

The fuse in the plug is working at the correct rating. The internal glass fuse is what the bloke said 16A would be fine

Dont you need to question what made the internal fuse blow in the first place. My experience has shown that that fuse only blows if theres a problem. Ive a twister 2 from 1991 that has never had a internal fuse replaced.

Are you sure you do not need a slow blow type fuse for that effect. Its may have to much inrush on power on either that or its faulty.

These fit the bill, but I'm not sure if they're actually what's required. Will have to read rest of thread.

My point though is that if you've got a 13A fuse in the plug, then it's not good having a 16A in the unit. ;)

Agreed.

See first edit. While I agree with the theory, I say again, if he's only got 13A in the plug......................................
The pdf manual for the unit does not specify the fuse type, only physical size and current capacity. :confused:

Wise move. ;)

I'm guessing two things.
1) Unit's faulty
2) It's no meant to run off a domestic 13A plug. Either 15A Round pin, or 16A Ceeform, neither of which are fitted with fuses.

Edit: Further reading shows that Ivan ( Cool Hand Luke) has indeed given a link to a slow blow fuse. Well done, it's probably more correct than mine, but all my objections still stand.

A Standard Plug is fused at 13 Amps

An Industrial Plug (blue circular) are rated at 16 amps.

The Glass ones are for internal use, for example in a CD player should you blow it, as I switched the voltage from 230 to 110 when I first had it, and it blew straight away.

The Alarm fuses are the type to use.


Its already been stated im after an internal fuse T15A 250V slow blow glass fuse
