Good day!
This isn’t directly about house construction, but since many electrical experts read this forum: What would be a reasonable upper limit for an occasionally used appliance in the kitchen? A kettle typically has about 2 kW, and I believe that’s close to the maximum because it already draws nearly 9 A. Standard household outlets are rated for a continuous load of 10 A, as far as I know. If I were to connect a crepe maker with 3 kW, it would draw around 13 A, possibly for half an hour. That’s too much, right? So when choosing a crepe maker, it’s best to go for one with a power rating around 2 kW, isn’t it?

Since when are ovens/stoves connected via Schuko plugs? They are usually hardwired on three-phase connections.Nowadays, the mentioned ovens are almost always connected via Schuko plugs.Pianist schrieb:
Well, most probably are not anymore today. I think that is a bit unfortunate for the Ioniq. The Ioniq 5 can even charge at 32A single-phase, right?!R
RotorMotor20 Jan 2023 10:59Basically, we are talking about Schuko sockets here. So what does that have to do with wallboxes and three-phase charging of electric cars?

Maybe it can, but 32A single-phase is a very unbalanced load far outside the standard (not allowed by the grid operator) – or am I mistaken? Yes, but @Pianist claimed that many vehicles, like the Ioniq, can no longer charge single-phase at 16A today.
And that is incorrect.
I think he just isn’t fully clear on the matter.

Yes, I was referring to the first one. And it can only operate on a single phase.I just double-checked. That’s correct, it charges only single-phase. However, it can handle up to 32A. Regarding load imbalance. Anyway, 16A single-phase is fixed. There are even aftermarket ICCBs that draw 16A from the Schuko socket.
