The fuse is rated at 13 amps, which is shown on top of the plug. This is the maximum amount of current the plug could pass without damaging the appliance or heating the socket. It is essential to ensure that when replacing fuses, you always use the same rated amperage as the original. You run the risk of overheating the socket if you replace a fuse with a different rating.
