Well, just got the new power cables plugged in(3a fuse, 2.5a rated cable...) and they haven't blown instantly. We'll see how things go but so far no problems.

Thanks for the links, very interesting read. I guess we'll have to see how things go with 3 amps. Thanks for the help. Will make one of your post the answer when it works ;)

What I found on them was the following: sub woofer: 200-240v 50/60hz 33W. TV: 100-240v 50/60hz 1.3a 130W So, the sub woofer is something like 0.1375a and tv 0.416a correct? Isn't a 10amp fuse in a not even 1amp appliance dangerous to the appliance? For example were there to be a surge of...

What I'm thinking of doing is just going for a 3 amp and see if it blows. If it does than I'll know whatever it is be it tv or sub woofer pulls more than 3 amps. It's just a matter of how safe it would be to try a 5 amp with a 3 amp rated cable that would be the issue then.

The original cable that came with the tv and sub woofer is rated at 25 amps and 250 volts. Which just confuses me as to why there any in circulation of the same if not at least 10 amp. Would guess that these would have been made specifically for LG and there requirements but still.

Right, so using an under rated fuse would be safer than an over rated fuse for the appliance. What sort of tolerances does the wiring usually have? How much more amp than rated can they safely take. A 3 amp rated power cable with a 5amp or 10 amp as an example, how high is the risk of it...

So what would happen if you used a 3amp rated cable and 3 amp fuse or a 3 amp rated cable with a 5amp fuse for example in a toaster for example?

UK, 240v as far as I've been told. If thats true then why does it come with 10amp fused power cables?

Need a pair for LG TV and sub woofer. Only been able to find 3 amp rated figure 8 power cables. Original power cables come with 10amp fuses so I'd assume that's what they need. Rather not risk the tv and sub woofer with under rated power cables.
