Even at EU countries this is unlikely, possibly something like that exists
in the ex-EU Area.
[Vacuum cleaner power ratings]
Exactly as I'm. But in this case I'm not that excitedly..
Hmm... may be that one isn't that dump.
In the german mikrocontroller.net forum it was discussed sometimes ago that
manufacturers of vacuum cleaners really put Heater resistors into theyr
products to rise the pulled power..
I can believe that. Like the extra transistors not connected to anything in some
early transistor radios so the manufacturers could claim 12 transistors or whatever.
Don't get me wron, but I can't see any
need for consumer vacuum cleanersi
above 1600 Watts..what would you do? Suck in the entire carpet and shredder
it?
Nor can I, but I dislike stupid regulations even more.
No, instead your table lamp is protected by a 15A breaker in the
distibution panel. Hmm.. I am told that in some continental
European countries it's common to have a pair of 16 A (230V)
outlets protected by a single 32A breaker. And no other protective
device. So a table lamp is effectively fused at 32A. No thanks.
No. That's hearsay and forbidden everywhere.
What is the typical German wiring ? A 16A breaker for each outlet?

No, mostly two or three outlets per room at one 16A breaker, Light is a
separate circuit in most cases.
The Breakers are mostly B16 Type, really fast characteristics. You are
unable to get a welder working with them. 5 running computers are also
impossible b'cause of the in rush current after a short outage (seldom, but
they happen). You have to use C16 or K16 Breakters for that. No Problem
with older wire-type fuses (?) with edison sockets.
