Default Re: 13 amp plug question

Before digital cameras were common the boss tried to help with production.
He got distracted and wired some IEC socket units so that the switch shorted live and neutral.
The 13A fuse had all of one end cap gone and about half of the other one also all gone.
It made a black mark on the wall and scared the guy that was testing the power units.
All of them had to be checked by eye before being plugged in.
