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.

What is the casing on a 13 amp plug made of?
They are usually made of a plastic called urea-formaldehyde.
Can a 1580 watt microwave be connected to a 15 amp circuit?
Yes, if the manufacturer installed a parallel blade 15 amp rating cap on the end of the cord then just plug it in. The circuit that you plug into should be a dedicated circuit (nothing else on the circuit) because the amperage will be 13 amps at 120 volts.
What is difference between 5 amp and 15 amp plug points?
Current carrying capacity is different.
How many 1.2 amp lights can a 20 amp breaker hold?
No more than 13 maximum on a 20 amp circuit.
Can you put a 15 amp fuse in an electric fire plug?
I would say no as it could blow and if majorly can damage the plug and can be expensive to repair
