Huh, what?! Mega TIL moment for me as an Australian with an electric kettle and dryer plugged into whatever power socket I wish! Reminds me of this great Technology Connections video: https://youtu.be/jMmUoZh3Hq4?si=3vSMHmU2ClwNRtow

I'm pretty sure in our current rental the kitchen and laundry are on the same circuit, which means I'll often have the dryer, washing machine, kettle, toaster and microwave drawing power at the same time. It's never been an issue.

What kind of a dryer? Because that cannot be right. Dryers require a 30amp 240volt dedicated breakers by code in most counties in most states nowadays.
