And device safety is MORE THAN adequately provided by fused plugs.
Of course it is. That’s not the issue under discussion. The issue under discussion is “Why does the UK use overengineered plugs not needed in the rest of the world?”
And the answer is because their household circuits are radically substandard relative to those in use in the rest of the world. Without those special plugs, UK circuits would be extraordinarily dangerous.
THE CURRENT CAPACITY OF A CIRCUIT HAS ZERO, NADA, NULL INFLUENCE ON THAT CIRCUITS ELECTRIC SHOCK POTENTIAL OR SEVERERTY AND IS NOT RELEVANT WHATSOEVER FOR HUMAN SAFETY.
People die in fires.
And device safety is MORE THAN adequately provided by fused plugs.
Not the topic of discussion. Again, the topic is “Why does the UK use overengineered plugs not needed in the rest of the world?” To understand that, we consider the hypothetical use of non-fused plugs on UK circuits, compared to non-fused plugs on global circuits. When we consider that hypothetical, we realize the exceptional danger posed by that condition, and we identify the need for those plugs.
and are yet completely incapable of providing even a singular valid argument as to it being less safe.
Because that is not the topic of discussion. The topic of discussion is “Why does the UK use overengineered plugs not needed in the rest of the world?” The danger is not the plugs. The danger is the household circuitry. The plugs are the safety device grafted on to restore the degree of safety the rest of the world enjoys without those special plugs. Of course the plugs are safe. The danger arises when we hypothetically apply the world’s non-fused-plug standard to UK household circuits, in order to understand the necessity of those plugs.
You just irrationally hate the UK network for some fucking reason
