Why do kettles boil faster in Europe?
Why do kettles boil faster in Europe? In Europe voltage is 240 and the maximum socket current is 13A (fuse in plug) (3120W) The circuit could deliver 20A. Half the power, double the time (approx)! The boiling time is a function of power, not voltage. However, to get the same power at a lower voltage requires a proportionally higher current.
