I just moved from Beijing to Switzerland. The electric current is the same, but the plugs differ (flat prongs for China, round prongs for Switzerland).
I bought a Swiss plug at the hardware store and want to rewire some small electric appliances. I decided to start with my iron, which is the most expendable. It is 10A 2500 V and has a molded plug which I cut off. The wires inside are straightforward (green, blue, brown) and I understand how to connect them.
My question is regarding the fuse. The swiss plug I bought does not have a fuse, and I don't see a place to put a fuse. Do I need to buy a fuse for the plug? And if so, what type?
