Interestingly you may be aware of somje tragic EU legeslation which means that 4mm bannan conectors cant be used on Hi-Fi amps in europe now as some poor young child pluged her pearents speeker plug into a french mains socket which being two identical spaceing to the speeker plugs wasnt very good for her, so insted of making france have sensible shieleded mains sockets we lose a sensible tidy way of conecting speekers, ahhhhhhhh. With all fuseless plugs you always have the problem/danger that the cable from the plug to the aplience has to be the same rating as the main supply otherwies you risk the chance of fire when an aplience fault occurs and too much currant is drawn.
