[QUOTE="spinlondon, post: 99163, member: 3394"] Another thing to take into consideration, is that those appliances do not all draw the maximum current all the time. Kettles draw maximum current just as they are coming to the boil. Irons draw maximum current when they are heating up. When they reach temperature, current draw is minimal, if at all. Washing machines are a bit more complex. They draw current when heating, when the drum is turning, and when the pump is pumping. The amount of draw depends on what is happening. Maximum draw is usually when heating and the drum is turning at the same time. Some machines will turn off heating whilst the drum is turning, others don't. [/QUOTE]
