In the United Kingdom, the main type of electrical plug is the three-pin 13-amp plug. It is fitted to everything from lamps to washing machines and, with a 13-amp fuse, can power appliances up to 3,000 watts. The plug has three prongs and may be used with two- or three-wire cords. Wiring a 13-amp plug requires an understanding of European wire colors, good color vision and access to simple tools.
