USian here. My refrigerator expects (and is legally required to have) a dedicated branch circuit of fifteen or twenty amps with nothing else on it.
Been years a since I had to actually apply Ohm’s Law, but I believe since we’re on 120V and most of the world is on 240V, you’d only need half the amperage we do.
You (and apparently most of your fellow citizens?) are expected to run your home most of the day on half the power available to an average American fridge? (Figuring that as 7.5A for US fridge at 220)
Puts our privilege in perspective for sure. If you don’t mind what general area of the world are you in? (Need not be overly specific, just curious about region(
Five amps?
