It is an inverter model. I won't claim all split-systems are, but every one I've seen new in the last decade or so has been.

which would also require the cable to be uprated,under the uk regs that would require a motor circuit pulling 5A needing to be protected at 35A,and instead of 1mm cable more like 4 or 6mm,a substantial increase in material costs.much simpler to use a slower fuse type designed for motor circuits.

He may be referencing their equivalent of a C curve MCB, which would be reasonable for a traditional hard-starting compressor of moderate size.

That link is also showing its Not an inverter the AC's further down are the Panasonic .
I also checked The Mitsubishi service manual on this Model Number its a Rotary Vein as I said .
Look at the Plate .below of Dave's Unit . He has the top Number which is non inverter .
The VHI is the inverter Model .
Dave plate shows this SRK35ZSA-W .
51 years in Service building & HVAC I think I know how to read an AC serial Plate . Thank you.

For the UK you require 2.5mm cable For a standard AC the cable rating is for Max Load Amps The Surge
current at Start is only for 1 second .
So on a UK Ring mains which is 2.5mm in a loop will be equal to 4mm assuming middle of loop (ring)
Small AC could be plugged direct to socket as UK plugs have internal fuse .13A .
