I often hear people saying how good UK plugs are. They are OK but have their problems at high currents as the internal fuse gets hot and can melt the insulation and connections.

This example is 9 months old and was used a couple of days a week for car charging - load was about 12A.

The Bussmann fuse in this good quality plug cooked everything and ended up welding the plug into the socket with the heat.
