Here in Britain every home is supplied with 240 volts at 40 to 100 amps, my house is 100 amps. Our supply cable is underground, there are 3 transformers about equidistant from my house & I have no clue which one is my feed. Most powerful thing is my electric shower at 9.6 Kw's & has a dedicated feed & circuit breaker, next is the oven at 2.9 Kw's & also a dedicated feed. Then an electric fire at 2.6 Kw's, then a washing machine & dishwasher at 2 Kw's, then a George Forman grill & an air fryer thing at about a 1Kw each, these are all plugged into a 13 amps socket/outlet. We also have 3 fan heaters of 2 Kw's each that we use now & then when main heating is off, plus loads of things like TV's, 2 laptops, mobile phones, even got electric reclining chairs. (How lazy is that? lol) We have gas central heating with radiators for main heating & a gas hob... Not happy at moment as the gas/electric combined direct debit is going up from 99 pounds to 163 pounds a month at beginning of April.... BTW we don't have air conditioning, we open windows wide & turn on a fan on the few hot humid days we get in our summers...
