> I'd call having a fuse in the plug itself over-designed. Personally, I'm quite happy that all my lower power devices with relatively thin power cables are protected by a 3A fuse. There's no risk of causing those cables to catch fire if there's a fault that draws 20A, which isn't enough to blow the 32A breaker on that ring. How much difference it makes in practice though? Pretty sure that if I short the power at the device end of a 5A cable, the 32A breaker would blow before the cable caught fire. But I'm happy not to depend on that.
