The kettle is surprising. A kettle consumes what, like 3800w? The oven consumes 3k but is operated 4x as long.
The kettle can’t consume 10000w, it would throw most breakers.
- jwalton 3y agoIn North America a kettle maxes out at 1500W, because we have 120V power and a standard circuit has 15A breaker (and especially older breakers are only rated for 80% continuous load). The oven peaks at 3kW, but once it reaches the set temperature it will use much less than this, so it will use less than 3kWh/h. A kettle runs for shorter, but generally it runs full out until your water boils and then you unplug it.
