What is the US equivalent of European 4x2.5 sq mm HO7RN-F and could US 10 2 be substituted for the European cable to hardwire a 240V 27A appliance?

If you want an American plug to power a 30A 220V device look at a dryer outlet. It will have an extra neutral conductor, but it is standard. Otherwise, you can go with a 220V 30A TwistLok plug. All the home centers [I've been to] carry these plugs. 10ga wire is heavy enough for 30A runs under 75ft, though for a 27A appliance you should consider a 40A breaker with 8ga wire.


How do you calculate correct fuse rateing for electrical appliances?

if the appliance is manufactured after 1920 it will have a nameplate somewhere near the power connection. this nameplate SHALL have the amperage and voltage required. the fuses in a house are sized so as to not set the house wiring on fire. that being said water heater nameplate 28A 240V can be on for periods longer than 20 minutes (continuous duty) so must derated 10% 31A . minimum standard wire size #8 30A, 35A or 40A fuse no time delay needed. air conditioner 25A 120A LRA 240V minimum standard wire size #10 30A fuse time delay needed.

What is the purpose of a fuse in a mains circuit?

The main fuses protect the feeder lines from the electric company's feed to the main panel for the maximum ampacity rating of the wire. So depending on the size of the incoming tails nothing is gained by reducing the main supplier's cut-out fuse rating to 60A or 40A.
