Sort of: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bankrupt "Bankruptcy is a legally declared inability or impairment of ability of an individual or organization to pay their creditors. Creditors may file a bankruptcy petition against a debtor ("involuntary bankruptcy") in an effort to recoup a portion of what they are owed or initiate a restructuring. In the majority of cases, however, bankruptcy is initiated by the debtor (a "voluntary bankruptcy" that is filed by the bankrupt individual or organization)."

We often rely on gas for thermal power on that scale. Or, we use hard-wired appliances, or appliances with plugs other than the standard 15-10A Edison plug. > Couldn't be doing with that US mains... Yes, 2.5 KW is fine on the US mains, but not via standard 15-20A Edison plugs. We have many flavors of connector that can easily handle a mere 2.5 KW. They are frequently used with electric clothes dryers and larger window air conditioners. I have a "dryer plug" on my table saw - the one with the 2 HP Baldor industrial motor wired for 240 volts. Yeah, a steady state 2 HP should be fine on a 20A circuit, but when the cutting gets a little heavy... |
