top | item 30280350 (no title) ketozhang | 4 years ago I think the journalist is calculating load capacity. A 1500A @120V kettle requires 0.18 MW. Rounding up, 60 kettles requires 12 MW. It's not how much water you can boil, it's how many kettles you can run at the same time. discuss order hn newest advisedwang|4 years ago 59MJ over 5 seconds would be 11GW, so if it was load, that would be 6000 2kw kettles!Although obviously those kettles wouldn't achieve much in those 5 seconds! ketozhang|4 years ago I'm way off. I meant 15A. Now I've no clue what the journalist is calculating. advisedwang|4 years ago They should start selling 1500A kettles though. Bring a pot of water to the boil instantly. ComputerGuru|4 years ago But they’re UK, so it wouldn’t be 110V. Nice try, though! qquark|4 years ago A 180kW kettle ?! Great Scott !
