The screw to get to it is supposed to be on the side that would be facing the wall when plugged in so no
Comment on Why do so many UK electrical sockets have an on/off switch next to them?
Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 2 months agoAre folks able to replace the fuses without exposing live parts? I totally get the safety angle.

fuse is in plug and accessible only when plug is disconnected
it’s also a very weird thing because fuses are supposed to protect what is downstream of them. so effectively fuse in plug protects cord and appliance only, not the wires in the wall. there’s breaker box for this

It is safer for the fuse to be in the plug for those people who think they are electricians and end up causing house fires or bzzzt’ing themselves

i understand that it’s remnant from times when fusebox wasn’t a thing and it was an attempt at protecting ring circuit, that’s all. it makes little sense
