Re: Eh?
3KW at TOA's stated 230V is a tick over 13 amps ... more than the circuit is supposed to provide. Even if it's a 240V circuit, that's still 12.5 amps ... do you honestly call an electrician in to run a new circuit every time you change your mind as to the placement of the kettle in your kitchen? Or do you yell out "kettle's on!" so nobody accidentally turns on a light and the radio or telly, thus tripping the circuit? And what happens if you designate a spare room in your house as office space? Do you have to have a special line run in to operate the kettle?
(Note that I know the answers to all this, I'm just pointing out the futility of trying to one-up the neighbors unless you are in full possession of the facts. That's generic "you", not you personally katrinab.)
