>household circuits are 15A
Actually, here in 'murrica, there are both 110v/15a and 110v/20 circuits in
homes. (Or really 117v or so, let's not split hairs) This may be different
depending on the age of the home, but in most built in the last 25 or so
years, most all wall sockets are 20a, and lighting circuits 15a. In
slightly older homes, some wall sockets are on 15a circuits, as in bedrooms,
etc, and others, kitchen, laundry, etc, on 20a.
Therefore, you can get away with the electric kettle in most homes, to brew
tea to be drunk whilst cleaning your OM's!
