Sure, you would be able to put smaller power draw items on the same circuit, but between the CPU/GPU/Motherboard/PSU/Monitors/Peripherals you will not be able to put two of these machines onto the same circuit.

For those confused like me, this conversation is about US circuits. On a typical European 230V 16A circuit, it's not a problem.

[occamrazor]

Maximum available power for standard domestic users is still only 3kW in many places. Might not be enough for a gaming PC, washing machine and microwave!

[vetinari]

You would fit a gaming PC there?

I have a microwave (1270W) and dishwasher (2400W) on the same circuit (230V, 16A). It didn't trip yet...

[occamrazor]

230 x 16 = 3680 and 1270 + 2400 = 3670. Living on the edge.

Depends on your country, in the Netherlands 25A and 35A main fuses are common.

that's it?? that's not enough to even power an electric stove

[Denvercoder9]

Don't forget that they use 230V, and electric stoves often use three-phase power. Even with a 25A fuse that gives almost 10 kW of power.

[xxpor]

So do American stoves. I have a 50A/240V circuit for my stove.

Three phase on the other hand is a slight of hand, since that gives you more power than what 230V would imply ;)

[sebazzz]

Exactly, a "cooking fuse" is not uncommon, which is two 16A lines to the same stove. That gives you 7360W to play with, something you won't reach in practice.

Alternatively, if you already have a multi-phase connection, then you would of course have the lines on different phases. If you have a 3-phase connection 25A main fuse is common, for single phase connections 35A is common.

Where, in deep russia ?

3kW is typical kitchen power.

[occamrazor]

In Italy it is very common. The wiring is normally rated for more (4.5kW) The power is limited at the counter switch.

> 3kW is typical kitchen power

Most stoves used to be gas powered. Now induction is becoming more common (but it requires an upgrade to 4.5kW).
