Where are you have had a new kitchen you may find that you have a fuse spur above the worktop beside or close to a socket outlet, the fuse spur then fades down and isolates the appliance below so you do not have to pull out the appliance should there be a failure of the appliance which could in fact mean you could get electrocuted by just pulling out the appliance. As all appliances are supplied with a moulded plug, the warranty can be infringed, if you cut off the plug!
Generally in this instance you will be having a 13 amp fuse in the fuse spur, feeding down to a 13 amp fuse in your plug,.
If you find that you have a three amp fuse in the fuse spur feeding down to your appliance, and using the calculations above, you have a requirement for 13 amp fuse, then the fuse in the fuse spur needs to be upgraded to the 13 amp fuse.
In other instances, where an electrician may have found that there is no lighting circuit cables to the area where customers require lights, a fuse spur may have been introduced to feed the new lighting circuit. This fuse spur might have a three amp or a five amp fuse in it depending on the amount of lights within the circuit. You will typically find this when there has been an extension such as a conservatory, or you have had installed garden lighting.
