Default Re: Murphy A188C repair.

Hi Dave,

The power consumption of even the hugest valve radios will never be more than a couple of hundred watts, absolute maximum, so the current consumption from our 230V mains will be under an amp. So 3A flex will be more than adequate.

The usual advice is that the plug fuse is to protect the flex, so a 3A fuse would be fine. But like you, I feel that a 1A one provides slightly better safety for negligble cost.

Good luck with it,

Nick.
