It's the standard Type 'G' 3-pin plug used in the UK for electrical equipment and appliances. It should always contain a cartridge fuse of the right size to match the current or "amperage" drawn by the equipment/appliance it is supplying with power. Standard fuses to fit the plug are available in 13 amp, 5 amp, 3 amp and 1 amp sizes. For more information see the Related Link and the answer to the Related Question shown below.

Can you change a 13 amp fuse for a 15 amp?
I have never seen a 13 amp rated plug, it is not defined in the National Electric Code, are you sure this is what you have?However, the NEC does allow both 15 and 20 amp receptacles that are being fed from a 20 amp circuit breaker.AnswerA fused 13-A plug is the standard electrical plug used in the UK, Ireland, and many other parts of the world that use 230/240 V supplies. It is incompatible with the now-obsolete, 15-A plug (except in theatrical lighting setups) which uses a different pin shape and is unfused.
How many 500 watt flood lights can you put on a 13 amp plug?
I have never heard of a 13 amp plug. However, each flood light would draw about 4 amps since you calculate amps by watts / volts. You just add amps to determine total load.
Can a 13 amp power cord replace a 15 amp power cord?
Yes, but don't try to put 15 amps through it! You might need to change your plug too!
What would happen if you put a 13 amp fuse in your computer plug?
A 13 amp fuse that is in-line with a computer plug would stop the computer from ever using more than 13 amps, and would blow the fuse to do so. Before doing that, make certain that the wire and all other devices up to and including the computer power supply can adequately deal with 13 amps.
What amp plug does the average router have?
15 amp outlet on a 20 amp circuit.
Can I plug a 30 amp air conditioner in a 50 amp plug?
Yes. Assuming everything is wired correctly and your 30 amp AC cord is compatible with your 50 amp plug, you can do this. I think you will find, however, that your 50 amp plug has a different pin configuration than your 30 amp cord end. This is not easily resolved because there are serious dangers in going the other direction, plugging a 50 amp appliance into a 30 amp receptacle.
Can you plug a 15a 250v ac into a 30a 250v plug?
No, the amperage pin configurations are different between a 15 amp and a 30 amp plug.
