Volt/amperes(watts) of your kitchen devices and amperes going through the circuit

I want to practice degrading wires for class and would like some numbers to work with, so if you guys could tell me how many watts or volt/amperes your kitchen devices(microwave, toaster, refrigerator etc) are rated at and how many amps the outlets carry(if you’re American or Canadian it’s most likely 120, if you’re European it’s most likely 240, I don’t know about the rest of the world) it would be well appreciated

Most household circuits are 15 - 30 amps @ 120 vac in North America.

You will also find 30 - 50 amp 220 vac circuits for water heaters, electric furnaces, dryers, stoves in homes.

@SW-User Thank you, I’m just curious what people’s are so I can practice using real layouts

NFPA70 (NEC) tells you how many outlets you can put on a single circuit and depending on the wire used what load the circuit is rated for.

@SW-User Right I’m just trying to figure out degrading the wires by 83%, we just learned that today and I want to practice it
