I'm seeking for some practical experience with the maximum allowable Amperes (2 second pulse) one can draw without blowing a fuse in what I believe to be an average European setting (230V 50Hz, 16A fuse per group).
In particular, I acquired 3 Multiblitz Xenolux 1000 monoblocks. These each draw a 10A current on recharging, but with the limited testing equipment I have I can only detect that for a period of less than 2 seconds.
Does anybody have (first hand) experience if that is too much to ask from the normal 16A power groups that one finds on many home locations in my country? I can test it for my location, but I intend to use this mobile set on various other locations as well, so some user experience might help, before I build my own the hard way. I would rather not learn from experience that it might cause serious problems in say monumental mansions, or at best the replacement of a fuse or two (=embarrasing).
Liability insurance is expensive enough without seeking for trouble ...
