Directional fuse and integrated IEC outlet

Hi
It seems obvious but i just wanted to make sure:i installed a directional fuse(Hi-Fi Tuning)into the integrated IEC outlet in the back of my preamp with direction pointing from right to left.The outlet is positioned upside down with the ground prong on top and positive-on the right side beneath it.Is it a way the current flows inside the outlet :from positive to neutral?
Please,correct me if i am wrong.Thanks a lot!

Jim I believe it has to do with the direction that the conductor is drawn through the die.

Now - the part that most people overlook ...
Yes the voltage and current are alternating (AC).
However the flow of *power* is always from source to load.
Always orient your fuse, cable, etc in that regard.
