My apartment in San Francisco which I pay an absurd amount of money for has just two or three 20A circuits in total going by the breaker. I regularly trip the power.
- bluGill 3y agoHow old. What you describe sounds like it was built before 1970 and never updated to modern standards. Since the wire is often in okay shape few consider it worth the cost to replace it even though it really can't supply enough power for modern uses. (often you have to replace it all as if you touch it the insulation will break and then it isn't okay)
- laurencerowe 3y agoBuilt around 1910 I think but the wiring is definitely a lot newer than that, 70s or 80s at a guess. They just didn’t put many circuits in. Has never been an issue anywhere I lived in the UK. As I understand it they have been putting in 30A/230V ring circuits as standard for 75 years now.
