1500 watts is about what an electric kettle uses.
- mr_toad 2y agoAmerican kettles. Kettles in hard core countries push 2300 to 2400 watts ;-)
- idlewords 2y agoSlow-boiled water gives superior flavor!

- wiredfool 2y agoMeh, Lidl sells 3200w kettles.
- Daneel_ 2y agoWhere are the three phase models?? Seriously though, a 15A kettle sounds great.
- SAI_Peregrinus 2y agoPhotonicinduction's 10-second kettle[1] managed about 10kW max (took around 5s to boil water) for a short time, 440V 23A. Then the resistance dropped, it went up to 16kW (426V 33A) and popped. 7-8kW (375V 19A to 400V 20A) seemed more sustainable.

- LargoLasskhyfv 2y ago2500W on 240V, single phase AC, 16A, German 'Schuko'-plug is normal. Or was. Some EU-regulation limits that to 2000, or even 1500W only now, for new devices, or something. Don't care. Still have the old ones, and whatever the electrician wired as '120V 3-phase AC' for the full US-style range in the US.
- sitharus 2y agoUK 240V with 13A sockets, 3120W. Sounds like Lidl are rounding up.
- astrange 2y agoAmerican stove startups can do it in 40 seconds with ??? watts by precharging a battery. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdawGen0QPc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdawGen0QPc
