That's...not a lot of power. O_o Is it common to get that little amount of power?
I have 200 amps going to my house, but the master breaker on my panel is 160 amps. My car charger alone is 48 amps. When I had an electric stove, that was on a 40 amp breaker.
- glass3 4y agoYou have to compare voltage, too.
- spockz 4y agoWe run at 230V, although these days with solar panels all over the neighbourhood the voltage is slowly going up to 240. Only recently, with the introduction of climate goals and ditching gas, houses are getting heavier connections. Electric ovens are typically 16A, although induction cooking stoves are getting 32A or 3phases. The 22kW car charger is by far the most power hungry device and needs 3x32A.
