    Hello, is it possible to replace the plugs because the English one burns out the adapters in the electric fireplace all the time. I would like to ask you if I can cut off English and season Polish?

    You can and why not?
    Just check if there is a safety fuse in the device, because usually there is a fuse in English plugs.

    Sure you can just make no mistake with the wires, there are 3 as well as in any socket:
    -phase,
    -zero.
    -grounding or zeroing

    they taught me that there is L phase, neutral N and protective PE

    2200 so is the fuse

    You can replace the plug without a problem, the fact that there is a fuse in the English plug is conditioned by the fact that English installations hang on a 32A fuse and therefore the protection of plugs is forced, in Poland sockets should be 16A, so replace without any problems.

    So replace the plug, while connecting a new plug, make sure that the PE wire (if any) is longer than the power wires so that if the wire is pulled out of the plug, the protective wire is disconnected last.

    The fuses in the plugs are matched to the power of the device.

    Not entirely true, they are of different values, but the point is that the ring hangs on 32A and only this forces the devices to be secured in the plugs

    I noticed that some devices have no security. For example, the Apple USB charger has a 12W fuse, but the 5W does not. Power supply for the access router distributed by Vodafone - no fuse. Do these devices have some non-replaceable fuses built in?

Topic summary

The discussion centers around the feasibility of replacing an English plug with a Polish one for an electric fireplace, particularly due to issues with English adapters burning out. Participants confirm that it is possible to replace the plug, emphasizing the importance of correctly connecting the wires: phase (L), neutral (N), and protective earth (PE). They note that the English plug typically includes a fuse due to higher amperage requirements (32A), while Polish sockets are rated for 16A. It is advised to ensure the PE wire is longer than the power wires for safety. The power rating of the fireplace is mentioned as 2200W, which aligns with the need for appropriate fusing.
