My girlfriend have thrown the lead for the ps3 in to a bag of leads we have and now I don't know which lead it is so would anyone know if it has a 3amp or 5amp plug fitted.

A tip for you, either tell your to not do it again or label the lead as PS3 or similar.0 -
This is the formula for working out the current (i.e the fuse rating), given the power consumption and voltage.
I=P/V
Where:
I = current in Amps
P = power in Watts
V = voltage in Volts (i.e. 230V mains)
According to Wikipedia, PS3 models vary in power, but the most power-hungry consume a maximum of 200W, yet come with a 380W PSU. So, let's use the biggest 380W value to be totally on the safe-side.
I = P / V
I = 380 Watts / 230 Volts
I = 1.65 Amps
So a 3A fuse will be fine.0 -
5A is normal for electrical items, but 3A would be fine too.0
