4500 Watt pulls 18,75 amps at 240V. This beast would trap me behind my electric door, like the longmill did, but instantly. Standard caps on 240V home-breakers are 16Amp.
Still… I want it! Gimmegimmegimme!
However, 4500W / 220V is equivalent to 20A!
However, ya doesn’t have to use it all at once! 
yeah, well 220V has largely been abandoned on this side of the pond, it’s pretty much 240V, going up and above when the various solar-inverters in the hood try to tip the scale into grid delivery when the sun pops through a cloud.
About not needing to use it all at once. I drive a two cylinder car just to make sure I don’t end up in a yard or a ditch every time I pull up. Usingitallatonce is kinda my middle name.
I will.
