Re: Philips B3G63A
Hi Donald,
Regarding the plug fuse, a 3 amp should be Ok, especially if you intend to fit an internal fuse inside the set.
I have found that very often there is nowhere on the chassis top, and the underside too, of many sets to fit a normal fuseholder. I therefore usually use a fuseholder designed for automotive use as in the sketch below. (Setting up for a photo of one is rather a chore.) These are not an approved type for mains use, but have proved quite safe and reliable in use, and require no drilling of the chassis etc. The only constraint is to ensure they are not mounted near a source of heat. I usually put them under the chassis for that reason (cooler). Easy, and cheap to buy from car accessory shops. Wire into the 'live' lead with the "spring" side (You will know what I mean by that when you get one.) to the switch, not to the supply. I usually use an 800m/a anti-surge fuse for this class of set.
