Almost has to be. 2400W would put it completely outside the consumer market. Consumer PSUs don't go that high. Home power outlets don't go that high unless you have special electrical work done. I can hardly imagine what a cooling system for a nearly 3KW system would look like.

In Europe, this is no biggie

I just saw a reputable 2400W kettle on a random online store for 50€

Looks like there are 3000W options too

Oh! I knew European outlets operated at higher voltage, but I didn't know the standard circuits supported such high current. Jealous!

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It's the same current but double the voltage

And wiring is typically rated for current limits not voltage (within reason). Some 12 gauge wire doesn't care if you're pushing 12V, 120V, or 240V but is only rated for 20A.
