Pre-built solar homes could make renewable energy almost 50% cheaper

Pedantic: Standard outlets are 16A in mainland Europe, so 3.7kW.

Modern single ovens can also be connected to a standard single phase outlet rather than a dedicated circuit. In my kitchen the induction cooktop is on a 16A three phase circuit, and all the other outlets (fridge/freezer, oven, dishwasher and appliances) are on a 16A single phase circuit.

5:11 from 20°C to 220°C

Wouldn't pedantic be 3.68kw?

I've never actually come across anything higher than 3kw, also a 16amp fuse isnt that precise, you could probably get up to 20 amps without it failing. The hotter you run it the quicker it fails though, so if you're regularly running 3.7kw through a 16 amp fuse, you may well find it failing, not through an underlying fault of anything plugged in to it.
