Typical US domestic service is 24kW (120V/200A nominal at the main breaker).
- dTal 6y agoFair enough. Still, it's one thing to be specced for 24kW peak load (the breaker) and quite another to require 20kW continuous (two 10kW nuclear power plants). I still think 20kW is an awfully huge amount of power - the average US house only uses about 1 kilowatt when you smooth it out.
