Laura, The gauge you listed is 0.75 sq-mm which is suitable up to 6 amperes according to IEC 60335-1. Also, check EN 60799 for more information on cord sets.
BTW. Who is your cord set supplier? Regards, +=================================================================+ |Ronald R.

The products we will be using the cord set on will never exceed 3amps in normal operating conditions. For the power cord set the Manufacturer has provided us with the following information: BSI/ASTA Approved British Male to International Female, HO3VVF3G0.75 Unshielded, Length: 8', Color: Black. The Manufacturer has asked us to specify a fuse of either 5A or 10A, with the information above how can we determine on whether a 5A or a 10A fuse should be used being that the gauge was not listed? Thanks a lot for the previous help and also thanks in advance for any help you can give me, -Laura -----Original Message----- From: Colgan, Chris [mailto:chris.col...@tagmclarenaudio.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 17, 1999 2:42 AM To: 'Laura Leyba-Newton'; 'emc-p...@ieee.org' Subject: RE: internet information Laura Re. the power cord..... SI No.1768 requires UK consumer products to be fitted with a plug conforming to BS1363. Both BS1363 and SI 1768 require the plug to be fused. The fuse value is determined by the cross sectional area of the power cord conductors. I doubt that you could find an unfused UK power cord set anyway.
