3200W seems perfect for a EU socket.
Seperate breakers aren't really a thing here, at least in my country, usually if you need more power you draw 400V

No it doesn't. A standard EU Socket is not certified for 24/7 3.2kW.
You should max. pull 2.7kW.
For everything else you need a blue eu socket or camper socket.
I learned this due to my EV which is able to be charged through a normal socket but it regulates it down due to this on purpose and has a temperature sensor build in as well.

US circuits are the same way. "Sustained use" (over 3 hours IIRC) has to be de-rated to 80% of max. So an EV can draw 40A on a 50A circuit.

So if it doesn't use 3.2kW continuously, but varies significantly based on what it's doing (perhaps even idle sometimes) then it's fine?

Is it per spec, or from experience?

from spec. full load only needs to be supported for up to an hour

On their site they say it can run at 220V 15A if you got that.

Just being nitpicky - I'm from the EU, but I think in the US, you can get either:
240V: Split-phase, this gives you 120V between each leg and neutral, and 240V across the two legs.
208V: The interphase in a 3-phase system.
Might be still within tolerance of 220V :)HTH, ducking out :)

Specs on website updated, anywhere from 100-240V is fine
Shame it wasn't designed for EU sockets. 230V*16A = 3700W, or double that on separate breakers!
