Why teapot three kilowatts

  • Dec 24, 2019

Rated Power conventional dummies 2200-2400 watts. Small camping kettles are available with output power of 220 watts.
There are only a few dummies models rated output of 3000 Watts. I have a kettle is more than ten years.


I specifically bought kettle so much power. Now I tell you why.

The greater the power, the kettle heats the water faster. Too many people think that powerful maker uses more power, but it is not: if the 3-kilowatt Maker warm water for 1 minute, and 1.5 kilowatt 2 minutes both spend the same amount of power - 0.05 kWh.

In fact, most of the dummies consume less power than indicated. So my 3-kilowatt Braun consumes about 2600 W at a voltage of 229 volt network.


I measured how much time I need a kettle to boil different amounts of water.

300 ml of water kettle boiled for 55 seconds.
0.5 liter for 1 minute 13 seconds.
1 L 2 minutes 9 seconds.

It's really fast.

This tea can be used only in those apartments in which wiring and electrical equipment can withstand currents up to 14 amperes. It can be used in apartments with electric stove and probably will not get to use in older homes.

Now on sale a half dozen trohkilovattnyh Dummies at the price of 1500 rubles. There is also the Bosch, and about Braun, and cheap brands, like Smile. It is important to realize that the cheapest brands of actual capacity may be much lower.

When buying a kettle, always pay attention to its power, and if your wiring allows, buy tea as a can be more powerful - it will boil water faster, and power consumption as much, how many and less powerful model.
