As the previous post says 62.5 amps.---
ok i get 15k is 15,000. If you have the watts, I get the divide by 230 to get the amps, what i did not get was the va. Normally I would presume v is volts and a is amps but va together, that is what lost me. What is a kilovolt amp? I have not heard the term before.

62.5 amps, that seems low for a house. When I think of what the washing machine, kettle, dishwasher, tumble drier all take. I must be missing something.
