...no. Average EU circuit is 230V/16A, that's 3.6kW

Even if you ran 1kW (...somehow) you could still connect 3 of them and still have 600W left for audio/monitors.

We usually only use that high amperage fuses on high power appliances, like ovens or workshop equipment from my part of Europe.

I would say it's more normal to be fused to 10A for most indoor things, anything else is not normal, as most home appliance power cables are not even thick enough to carry the 16A 230V power safely.

You're right, I was being North American-centric, which is 120V/15A and could only run a single 1000W machine.
