I don’t know enough about electricity. Electrician told me I have 3 phase 400v and it wasn’t common. Not sure what that means or what benefit it gives me.
It just means that you can run industrial gear; maybe was owned by a keen potter previously. Big kilns need 3 phase power. No it isn’t common for domestic, but I have a few friends with big shed that have 3 phase power for machining tools.
Depending on what capacity the supply has; e.g. if you have a smallish 80A supply you can run a a good sized CNC mill in you shed.
Three phase is useful for industrial motors or if you need more than 200A service. If I wanted to add another car charger in my garage and use them at the same time, they would have had to bring in another phase.
I own one. They’re fantastic; you just have to realize what you have. You can’t plug in a computer, three laptops, two monitors, and a space heater.
Most of the stuff I’m plugging in is a few watts.
Yeah, this is a solver for the oodles and oodles of devices that all insist on using their own dedicated 5v wall wart.
Space heater 1500W, PC 500W, 3 laptops 360W, 2 monitors 100W = 2460W
With our superior european 230V outlets you can in fact easily plug all that into one power bar :D
We have 220V here too, just not a lot of receptacles or options on power strips :)
I have a 220v 50A in my garage, clothes dryer and Oven.
You sure it’s 50A? I thought it was usually 30.
Yup. 50A for level 3 chargers and welders. Oven might be 30, but i know the garage is a 50a circuit.

Your electric kettles boil so fast. I am quite envious.

What about a desktop, two laptops, speakers, a printer, four monitors, and some networking equipment? Asking for… Myself. I’m asking for myself.
The box says 15 amps. I think 15 might be pushing it at a bit.
Just start adding up all the input amps and see what it comes to. If it’s not Enterprise Network gere and a laser printer you have a solid chance.
