Don't fixate on "fixed." In connector terminology, "fixed" means it's screwed to a wall, or post while "free" means it's on the end of a cable. With some car charging points the car comes with a cable, one end of which plugs into the car and the other end plugs into a connector fixed to the charging point. With other car charging points the cable is an intrinsic part of the charging point and it has a free connector that plugs into the car. This leads to confusion if you adopt the "free connector is called plug" model (as many people do), especially if the tag is socket=*.

The wiring is always rated higher than the breaker/fuse because the purpose of the breaker/fuse is to protect the wiring. It's not to protect the equipment or even the connector, it's to stop your house wiring going up in flames. The equipment may be on fire. The connector may overheat to the point of being damaged (it shouldn't but some connectors are a tad shoddy). But the breaker should trip before the wiring goes up in flames. As a practical matter, there is no legal reason not to fit a lower-value breaker/fuse than the wiring and connector can handle. As somebody else remarked on the thread, it's common in his/her part of the world for camp sites to fit lower-value breakers than the wiring and connector can handle. And it's entirely possible the wiring is rated lower than the connector can handle, as long as the breaker is of low enough value to protect the wiring (not good practise, but it can happen if people are trying to do things on the cheap). -- Paul
