>Anything around ~2k watts on a single circuit breaker is likely to flip it
I'm curious, how do you use e.g. a washing machine or an electric kettle, if 2kW is enough to flip your breaker? You should simply know your wiring limits. Breaker/wiring at my home won't even notice this.
My kettle only pulls 1500W, as do most in the US. Our water just takes longer to boil than in Europe.
My washer / dryer has its own 30a breaker as does my Oven as well as water heater. My garbage disposal has its own 15a breaker.
Boiling 1 liter takes like 2 mins. Most Americans don’t have kettles because they don’t drink tea.
Huh, what?! Mega TIL moment for me as an Australian with an electric kettle and dryer plugged into whatever power socket I wish! Reminds me of this great Technology Connections video: https://youtu.be/jMmUoZh3Hq4?si=3vSMHmU2ClwNRtow
I'm pretty sure in our current rental the kitchen and laundry are on the same circuit, which means I'll often have the dryer, washing machine, kettle, toaster and microwave drawing power at the same time. It's never been an issue.
