@LukeInSoCo @RollingStone Startup current draws are higher, sometimes by a factor of two. But if you review the range of running power comnsumption for the list, you’ll see that the totals come out just about right for UK Voltage. — PolitiTweet.org

If you plugged into the same electrical circuit and simultaneously ran a Toaster, a Hair Dryer on high, a Chain Saw, Lawn Mower, Leaf Blower, and a Winch, only then might you “blow a 50-Amp fuse” as warned in the @RollingStone’s (1969) hit “You Can’t Always Get What You Want.” — PolitiTweet.org

Fun with electricity… Depending on make & model, those six listed items (see previous Tweet) each draw between 1,500 & 2,000 Watts. That’s 9,000 to 12,000 Watts total). Since Watts = Volts x Amps, and the UK uses 230Volt circuits, to blow a 50-Amp fuse requires 11,500 Watts. https://t.co/Y32vOltK14 — PolitiTweet.org
