Help with power lead

[SpyderTracks]

It says 5a on the plug and it looks like a pretty old wire are you sure just changing the fuse will be ok

If it's a kettle lead then yes.

Emails take a long time for a reply, we would always advise to use web chat for that reason.

You'll be waiting a few more days for a response by email.

No, it's just because they're very busy.

When it talks about the circuit dose it mean the plug it self? Or what it’s connected to

The circuit is the mains which is miles above at 32A

13A is the standard fuse on UK plugs

Here's how many watts a standard UK mains socket can take: more than your PC needs

@SpyderTracks is absolutely correct in what he says about the mains circuit, 13A is the correct fuse. The UK doesn't use 10A or 5A circuits any more, they used the old round pin plugs and sockets that I remember from my youth and were phased out in the 1970's I think?

As ever when reading stuff of the Internet you need to remember that it's a global network. That post might well relate to the USA or Australia or even the dark side of the Moon!
