Paul,
No, we don't have fuses in our plugs, although we probably should, would save us Faultsmen a few late night callouts.
We do have ring-circuits here, but they are limited to use in caravan parks.
BTW,Paul, I can't really remember the last time that I actually used a double pole switch, as this sort of thing is really only used on 2 phase 230/400V stuff and even this is getting pretty rare these days. [Linked Image]
Mike,
The switch that is used in our socket-outlets is just a single-pole device and has no OCPD function, although you can get socket-outlets with an integral RCD (GFCI) unit in them.
