240 volts from the Mains
5 amps per killowatt[1000watts]....15 amps per circuit[usually]


so if your running MORE than 3 kilowatts from 1 socket or 1 bedroom or one circuit..your are gonna have a power cut!!
Distribute the power/appliances around the house NOT all in the same socket{UNLESS IT'S LESS THAN 3 KILOWATTS]

IF your wire are too thin they will melt or worse...1.5mm is safest for big fat light's if this is a growing question
