    Well you would better off putting the fuse in the device not the outlet. But the uk used ring circuts and those are extra dangerous and need the fuse for safety.

      That’s actually how it works: appliance’s plugs have a fuse for the appliance so each device gets a sensible level of protection. The outlets don’t have fuses, but the circuit does.
