    You must not be familiar with North American power systems. I would bet the op had single phase service providing 220 or 240 volt service. 60 amp service is outdated, 100 amp is basically the minimum and 200 amp is common.

      Oh, I see. Yeah, well, okay, that’s basically nothing. Seems like the country isn’t really on a good path for electrifying things, then. How do they use any large electric motors at home?

      Living in the boonies - I could get 3 phase, 400V, 100A for 800€, that’s 120kW. Yes, we’re paying a lot per kWh but the grid quality is okay-ish.

      You got it. I’m not really familiar with electrical stuff, but I kinda think my service is 110? My dryer and water heater are on separate 2 fuse circuits. I think it was upgraded from aluminum wire in the 70’s. I have the “good” paper wrapped wire now.

      As another cool aside about my house, the sewer line was made of cardboard
