1800 Watts at 240 volts = 7.5 Amps
If you plugged two in, that would take it up to 15 Amps.
The individual sockets are only safe up to 13 Amps, so this would be too much.
So the answer is, one.
Each ring main is normally fused at 30 Amps.
So you would be able to plug up to 4 kettles, into individual sockets, on the same ring main.
