Typical small houses in the UK are given a 60 or 100 amp supply at the standard 240 volts. The maximum power is therefore 14.4 or 24 kW. But many houses do not use the full quota.

The power used by each appliance is marked on it, e.g. 3 KW for a kettle, etc. The total power is just all the individual powers added up at any given moment.

So if someone turns a kettle (3kW) on while someone else is having a power shower (8 kW) and the water heater is on (3 kW) and the washing machine is running (3 kW) that would make 17 kW. Most of the time it's much less. Lighting does not use much, especially CFLs and LEDs.

How many amps is 50 kilowatts?

It depends on the voltage. For example if you had 120 volts (average Alternating Current supply voltage) you would have 6 kilowatts. However, if you were dealing with 12 volts (average Direct Current supply voltage) you would only have 1.4 kilowatts. Use the following equation to calculate the number of kilowatts produced from different voltages:(Voltage x 50)/1000 = # kilowatts
