Oh, that horrible thing.... Not fused
Because each circuit is supposed to have its own breaker in the main box,
and there would normally be very few outlets on one circuit, and many more
circuits than we tend to have in the UK. My Schuko sockets are two to a
breaker.

Exactly... Well, not in the same workshop that I do electronic repairs
in, and certainly not where I run large hard disks (swarf and demountable
hard disks don't mix...). But certainly in _a_ workshop....
Mine is in the smae workshop. Not ideal, but I'm careful where I let the
swarf go (metal swarf is quite heavy so it's not too hard) and where I lay
disk packs. Now the arc welder is a different story. The spatter from
that can go everywhere, so it's in the garage not the workshop/computer
room.
