Dec 5, 2021 at 19:36 | comment | added | TimWescott | I'm going to answer it anyway, but this is actually a better question for diy.stackexchange.com, because it has to do with the intersection between home wiring practices, engineering, human stupidity, and the regulations they engender. | |

Dec 5, 2021 at 19:19 | comment | added | Hearth | Isn't the 80% rule just a regulatory thing? I know in the US you're not allowed to sell appliances that draw more than 1500 watts continuously if they're meant to be plugged into a normal outlet (this is why every space heater ever is 1500 watts). Outside of regulatory things, the "rule" is only a rule of thumb. | |
