What is the difference between a 13 Amp and a 5 Amp fuse?

I checked the plug before buying to make sure it was 13A, and it seems like it is, but I don't know why.

I'm pretty sure you're talking about a UK location.I am not an electrician and I have never lived in the UK, but the fuse seems to be a UK standard and is not related to the load on the wall cord.The wall cord will take 13 Amps at 230V without burning up.The same thing would be used for a 2-meter cord.

Do you mean the wall plug or the plug that goes into the laptop?Is it an original one?People replace the wall cord with a longer one.Did you disassemble the AC?

Are you saying there is a problem with the wall cord?The cord is rated for 13A but a 170w power supply is only used for 120v.

The plug is from the UK.Even if there is a higher initial draw, I don't think you would ever need more than 5 Amps.The official answer would need to be something like you should use the wall cord that came with your AC adapter or get a new one, since that is what they would have tested.

I have never used a fuse or used U.S. wall plugs.The plugs I have seen are from the UK.You can only get help with original cords from Lenovo.Someone else may be able to add more.

Here is the exact plug and cord for the Thinkpad-w series of laptops.

If you click on the images you can see the plug houses a fuse, but that's not good for me as I need a 2 meter cord.
