Why does an adapter have a fuse in it? [I mean an ADAPTER (ie to change one shape plug to another shape plug, NOT something that converts voltage, *NOT* a CONVERTER (ie something that converts charge)
I use an adapter for my computer (which can be used on either voltage and does NOT need voltage conversion) and it has a fuse in it, for some reason the charger for my computer (which has a US plug, Im in UK) stopped working with that adapter, is it because the fuse blew in that adapter? i seem to be able to use other adapters, (hence why i can ask this question lol) but it will NOT work in the original adapter anymore- why not? if i change the fuse will it work again? WHY do adapters need fuses if they only convert plug shape and has NOTHING to do with voltage conversion? thanks
