Electric Rollers

[rockyracoon]

I've found a set of heated rollers in my cupboard (forgot I had them). Someone has taken the plug off, I can easily put one back on but don't know what fuse to use. Would anyone know what I'd need?

Ta :)

Most heated rollers are rated at around 400W. (Look for a label to check though). So that means you need a 3A fuse:

Thanks Chris, just found a little marker underneath that says 300w, I'll use the 3a.

Thanks again :)

Yes, 3 or 5 Amp, Rocky. 13Amp ones are, technically, wrong for protecting the very light cables that are often used.

Also, they're usually diesel, Rockers.... although you may be on to something new here........

Lol, with my frizzy mop, I could probably use that type of roller :)

5 amp will do fine
