wow, extra fee to get 3phase ,
but that was in the Netherlands and Germany, right?
Here (Sweden) I assume they will probably charge us a lot extra IF we
wanted to load down the grid out of balance with only 1 phase and large main
fuse :-)
but who would want to do that? anything over 10A should be 3phase, in my
opinion. hehe.
In Sweden it is 6,10,16, 20, 32 that is the most common plug current
and the main fuses is normally 16 or 20 Amp,
for a house with electric heating at about (about 9kW) I think it would be
normal with 20,
I have 20A mains but would probably do well on 16 also if I dont run
the heater and "boiler" at the same time as the microwave, cookingplates and
things like that.
(It is also possible to install relays that cut the power to for example the
hot water heater for the short time as that the micro or stove is at full power)
