We've got 2 medium sized chest freezers, and one small freezer that sits on the work surface, all came fitted with 13 amp fuses.

I was surprised.

Is that all...  I have 1 medium Chest freezer, 1 small chest freezer and 2 additional freezers in the house...

That reminds me, my cousin had a Ford V8 Pilot back in the fifties, if I remember correctly, it only had one fuse, which kept blowing, so he put a 1/8" piece of copper bar in it, never blew again!

i remember someone i worked with who told me when he was in saudi arabia years ago the arab contractors had power tools that were so old that to get electric they spliced the lead into the mains cable and wrapped selotape round it, he said there was usually a very long cable coming from the mains with about 10 cables slpice in all along the length of it.

Watts = Volts x Amps
So look to see if you can see a plate with the wattage on it.

UK now in line with EU works on 230 Volts.

So long as your flex to the appliance is 1.0mm or more then 13amps any less and you should use a fuse suitable to the size of flex.
