UK plug fuses are designed to protect the cable and not the equipment.I think the post helped me 1. Switch off power when connecting and 2. I've been checking wattage
Living room
The Raspberry Pi 5 uses less than 3W
My Acer monitor uses less than 50W
In another room
My Asus computer uses less than 200W
My LG TV uses 110W
I should only have a 3A fuse as a 13A could break what's connected.
The extension lead in question has a 13A fuse.
