oh wow. So when a device shorts out, it can do some real damage...
Only about 1500 watts worth
15A @ 120V. Basically, 7.5A @ 240V.
That's a lot!
Depends. In my kitchen it's all 32A/230-240volt lines, enough to boil stuff or heat stuff. In the rest of the house a single 16A is for a whole room.
I was pretty sure you guys on that side of the pond could draw a lot more... AFAIK, you have kettles that draw 3000W, which is 12.5A @ 240V.
(Technically, we can install an outlet capable of doing that, but they are not typical in residential use. Outside of commercial-grade appliances and dedicated circuits, we're pretty much limited to 1500-1800 watt portable appliances here. Fixed appliances like ranges, water heaters, pools, spas, are effectively unlimited, of course.)
I've seen a 16A fuse on a power cable for a 1000W PSU. I don't know the fuse for my kettle, but do know it runs off a 20A circuit breaker, so that's it's upper bound likely
