This is funny as a european, since we have many, many groups where we reguarly will run 2kW, and some, loads. Really no issue, but I guess lower voltage makes it a problem.


Yup. We typically have 20 amp breakers in living portions of the house and it's common practice for most devices to top out at 1500 watts. But from your description, you would still need three lines and three breakers. So. I'm not understanding your point.


Most outlets rely on 120v 15amp breakers here in the US, only washer/dryer/kitchenware require the higher end 240v breakers
