3 toroidal transformers in paralel ?

So, as it was tight in the box around the main power input, I decided to build a smaller plastic box with an accessible fuse and an on/off switch, the same type of plug you linked to me, so it's easy to access and replace the fuse if needed. Hopefully I won't have to do that!

So in the idea for a next design:
-1 main fuse on the live wire to take care of possible safety issues and cut the power going into the device.
-1 post-transformer fuse per transformer to prevent each circuit from a possible issue coming from the transformer

Each of these fuses of course with a different amperage, depending of the power of each circuit.

Again, thanks a lot Nigel and Diver!
 

Which is perfectly fine - the thermal fuse is all that's needed - and is almost certainly a non-replaceable one internal to the transformer. As such it meets all UK legislation. As I suggested above, it's mainly there to prevent fires.
