Forget the textbook's neat tables—in these hills, you match the fuse to the wire you have, which is often thinner than city specs. A 5-amp fuse is safe for most plugs here. Wiring a plug? Brown to live, blue to neutral, green-yellow to earth, but half our sockets have no earth anyway.
I learned this rewiring my parents' old heater with bits from the market, after their "correct" fuse blew every time the voltage dropped.
