The 16A is for the PC room, the house has a 40A "400V" 3 phase TN connetion :)

The quotes are in since the difference between the phases is 230V, but in practice it is almost the same as a 40Ax400V single phase connection.

gotcha. I've never heard of 16amp service, in Canada we have 15 amp.

But its very common to have many 15amp and 240V lines run in a house in Canada.

My kitchen alone has 4 different lines. i don't think your scenario is all that uncommon given that almost all new builds will have the same lines run in their home.
