We are trying to determine the proper fusing for the UK power cord.  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

                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.

                Hope this helps
