Hi, possibly it is because all electrical parts are double insulated similar to a lot of small appliances like hair driers and TVs etc…..

Re: cooker hood question
Their not earthed like said because they are double insulated. Have had loads of 3a fuses blow when the bulb goes, the chimney ones are worst where they put the plug behind the stack and almost impossible to get at

Yep, Its the bulb blowing that takes the fuse, but don’t be tempted by a bigger rated fuse, when the bulb blows it will take the swtich pcb track instead.

Same thing happens when certain types of house lights blow they also take out the trip.
