Really? All my circuits both in Sweden and Switzerland
have 10A breakers on them.
I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the actual wiring might be designed for more,
but that's what *all* my breakers are at.
I?m a recent transplant to Belgium. I just walked across the room to check the wiring
cabinet in my apartment. The building dates from the 1830s but was heavily remodeled by my
landlord in the early 2000s. All my breakers are 20A. My apartment also has electric
radiators for heat and electric water heaters. Maybe that?s why Belgium will have rolling
blackouts this winter! :D
